Part 1 of 2:

Finding a Color

1
Open the HTML Color Codes website. Go to https://htmlcolorcodes.com/ in your computer's web browser. This site allows you to generate a code for a color that you can then plug into Twitter to use that color as your theme.
- If you just want to select a preset color on Twitter, skip to the next part.
2
Scroll down to the color picker. It's the square with a gradient of different colors in the middle of the page.

3
Select a main color. Click and drag the vertical color bar up or down to select the main color you want to use for your theme.
4
Fine-tune your color. Click and drag the circle in the middle of the color picker square around until you see the color you want to use in the colored rectangle to the right of the vertical color bar. This is the color you'll use for your theme.
5
Review the color's code. Next to the "#" heading below the colored rectangle, you'll see a six-character number; this is the code you'll need to enter on Twitter.
