Navigation Style Overview

In the Navigation Style, choose the background color for the navigation bar and submenu area. In Confluence's Light theme, you can set the navigation background color with a code or picker. In the Dark theme, Space Navigation automatically adjusts the background and text colors to be complementary.

The Navigation Style feature is only available in the Light theme.
