The all-new brand color experience allows you to create a standard set of colors for your organization that will be utilized in other experiences. This allows you to seamlessly create and standardize your color options.

You will also be able to create and manage your organization’s themes in the Brand center for SharePoint and Microsoft Viva Connections. With this new theme creation and management experience, you will be able to easily create themes for your organization and make them available in the "Change the look" experience.
