If you’re tired of the blue color scheme used in Facebook, there’s really nothing much you can do directly on its site or on its apps. There is no configuration or setting to adjust and change the color scheme. However, there may be some extensions or add-ons you can use depending on your web browser. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have some extensions or add-ons available that can allow you to change your Facebook color scheme.

Things You Should Know

  • Add the "Color Changer for Facebook" extension to Google Chrome to easily adjust Facebook's color scheme.
  • Facebook Color Changer is another popular add-on for Mozilla Firefox that allows you to customize your Facebook color scheme.
  • Select a color within the extension or add-on and you will see it applied immediately.

  • Question
    Is there a way to change Facebook's colors on the mobile version?
    Community Answer
    No. Facebook's color is blue, and you can't change that on mobile. You might be able to download an extension for the PC version to do that, but not on mobile
