Material theme options

PraisonAIBio uses Material for MkDocs with several built-in colour palettes. No custom CSS theme — just Material’s native primary and accent colours.

Switch themes on the site

Click the palette icon in the header (next to search). Each click cycles:

#	Name	Light	Dark	Primary	Accent	Best for
1	Praison	default	slate	red	teal	Brand — biology + Praison red
2	Indigo	default	slate	indigo	indigo	Classic Material look
3	Forest	default	slate	green	light-green	Scientific / eco tone
4	Midnight	default	slate	black	teal	Minimal, high contrast
5	Deep purple	default	slate	deep-purple	amber	Enterprise / long-form docs
6	Cyan	default	slate	cyan	cyan	API / developer docs

Light and dark are separate steps in the cycle (e.g. Praison light → Praison dark → Indigo light → …).

Your OS may pick Praison automatically on first visit (prefers-color-scheme).

Set the default in mkdocs.yml

Edit the first palette block under theme: in mkdocs.yml:

theme:
  palette:
    - media: "(prefers-color-scheme: light)"
      scheme: default
      primary: green        # change this
      accent: light-green   # change this

All Material colours

Material supports these primary and accent values (same list for both):

red	pink	purple	deep-purple
indigo	blue	light-blue	cyan
teal	green	light-green	lime
yellow	amber	orange	deep-orange
brown	grey	blue-grey	black
white
