SharePoint: Customize your sites with multi-color themes

🚨 The Signal: SharePoint site owners can now apply multi-color themes, including custom branding. This change introduces new avenues for visual customisation, potentially impacting brand consistency and information presentation across sites.

The Impact

SharePoint site owners are affected, with a low risk of inconsistent branding or user experience if not governed.

  • Site Owners: Increased customisation options, requiring governance review.
  • Brand Managers: Need to define and enforce new multi-color theme guidelines.
  • End Users: Potential for varied site experiences if themes are not standardised.

The Action

  1. Review existing SharePoint branding guidelines to incorporate multi-color themes.
  2. Communicate new branding capabilities and policies to site owners.
  3. Consider using the SharePoint Brand Center to centralise approved themes.
