Coming soon for Microsoft SharePoint: Site owners can apply a multi-color theme to the site. We will offer these multi-color themes out of the box. Site owners will create the themes using the Site branding feature, or the brand manager will use branding from your organization if you have set up a brand center in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
NOTE: The brand center app requires the use of a public content delivery network (CDN) available in the Worldwide environment. CDN is not available in the GCC, GCC High, or DoD environments.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 489833 and Roadmap ID 490062.
[When this will happen:]
These releases will roll out to Worldwide (with brand center capability) and to GCC, GCC High and DoD (without brand center capability):
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early May 2025 and expect to complete by mid-May 2025.
General Availability: We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
This feature introduces multi-color themes that support multiple color combinations in a theme. In addition to custom themes, eight new out-of-the-box site themes will be available after this rollout.
The theme colors will show up in the site header and site footer, applied by site managers. The theme colors will also show up in section backgrounds, the rich text editor (text web part), and Design ideas, all edited by page authors.
This feature will be available by default.

The recent update to Microsoft SharePoint introducing multi-color themes is set to make waves for both admins and users alike. With site owners now able to apply vibrant, multi-color themes straight from the Site branding feature, we can expect a more personalized and visually appealing experience across SharePoint sites.
For admins, this means a more streamlined approach to site customization. No longer will they have to rely solely on standard templates; instead, they can empower site owners with the tools to express their brand identity creatively. This flexibility can enhance user engagement, as a well-branded site often translates to a more enjoyable user experience. Plus, with the option for brand managers to use pre-set branding from the organization’s brand center, there’s a delightful blend of autonomy and consistency in branding.
On the user side, the introduction of eight new out-of-the-box themes will undoubtedly bring a fresh look to their SharePoint experience. Imagine navigating through a site that not only serves functional purposes but also pleases the eye! The multi-color themes will be applied to headers, footers, section backgrounds, and even the rich text editor, making every interaction with the site a little more colorful and fun.
Now, while this update is rolling out automatically with no required action from admins, it’s still a good idea for them to notify users about the changes. After all, a little heads-up about the new features can go a long way in ensuring everyone is ready to embrace the colorful transformation.
In summary, this update is bound to have a significant impact, enhancing the visual appeal and usability of SharePoint sites. It’s a win-win for both admins and users, with an exciting opportunity for organizations to showcase their brand personality.
