You can use a color changing browser extension to customize your Facebook theme

If you’re tired of the blue color scheme used in Facebook, there’s really nothing much you can do directly on its site or on its apps. There is no configuration or setting to adjust and change the color scheme. However, there may be some extensions or add-ons you can use depending on your web browser. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have some extensions or add-ons available that can allow you to change your Facebook color scheme.

    Is there a way to change Facebook's colors on the mobile version?

    No. Facebook's color is blue, and you can't change that on mobile. You might be able to download an extension for the PC version to do that, but not on mobile
  • Question
    Will other people see the new color?
