Edwiser RemUI has pre-defined color schemes. But when it comes to tuning the colors to your branding needs, you might want a custom color scheme.
Note: The CSS Codes mentioned in this article are exclusively for version Edwiser RemUI 3.3.x and above until Edwiser RemUI 3.5.11, Edwiser RemUI 3.6.7 and Edwiser RemUI 3.7.4

Color Selection Guide
If you’re starting out, and have no idea of the color scheme to pick, here are a few pointers to help you out:
- Elementary school students prefer brighter colors – red, yellow; high school and university students prefer calmer colors to help them concentrate such as blue, green or purple
- Blue is a calmer color that helps students concentrate and should be associated with science or math courses
- Green blends the calm of blue and the creativity of yellow and works well with social science subjects and history
- Yellow works great with creative studies such as language learning or arts

Make sure you pick colors that complement your logo to highlight it, not hide it.
