The picture is your page’s banner and what people see when you share your link. Parts of it move, visitors can pause it, and it stays still for anyone with reduced motion turned on.

Like every theme, it’s a starting point. Put your own photos or video in the header, behind the page or on any button.

The colours

  • Background#f4efe5
  • Cards#fffcf6
  • Text#1d2430
  • Muted text#4e5361
  • Accent#1f4468
  • Button text#fffcf6

You can change any of them. They’re easy to read together, and the editor will tell you if a change makes text hard to read.
