The Color Theme settings in Cadence allow you to customize your event's visual appearance across all platforms. While standard menu items automatically adopt your selected color theme, custom menu items sometimes require additional verification to ensure they display colors correctly and consistently with your event branding.
When to use
After applying a new color theme to your event
When custom menu items aren't displaying the expected colors
When you need consistent branding across all menu items, including custom ones
How to do it
Navigate to the Admin site for your event.
Select Event Setup from the main navigation menu.
Click on Color Theme in the left sidebar menu.
Choose your preferred color theme option (Default Color, Custom Color, or Advanced Colors).
Configure your selected theme option based on your choice in step 4.
For precise brand matching, enter specific hex codes (e.g., #FF5733) rather than using the visual color picker.
Click "Apply Color to All" to save your color theme settings.
Navigate to Menu in the left sidebar to access your custom menu items.
Verify each custom menu item's feature type is correctly assigned.
Custom menu items inherit colors from their parent feature type. For example, a custom page will use the Custom Pages color.
For nested custom menu items, ensure both parent and child items have the same feature type assigned.
Open your event's user-facing website in a new browser tab to verify the colors appear correctly.
Check all custom menu items to confirm they display the correct colors for icons, borders, and backgrounds.
Return to the Admin site to make any necessary adjustments if colors don't appear consistently.
Troubleshooting
If custom menu items with sub-menu items aren't displaying the correct colors, verify that both the parent item and sub-items have the same feature type assigned. Nested custom menu items may require additional configuration to properly display the custom color theme.
