Learn how the colors that you select in your mobile themes are applied on your mobile
applications.
Important:  
Use legacy mobile theming on Tokyo and earlier ServiceNow® instances. For Utah and later releases, see [Next Experience theming for mobile](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IiKtf_APVzEpy6aaOqSfMw "Use Next Experience theming to give your mobile apps color scheme consistent with your instance web experience.").

## Color choice considerations {#sg-theme-colors__section_rc4_wmv_kjb}

Consider the following information when you select colors for your mobile applications:

* How your color choices look with colors in other parts of the app, such as your screen icons and UI styles. Avoid using too many colors. Simple designs of two to three colors result in a cleaner, more accessible layout.
* How your color choices look with colors in other elements that may display within your app. Elements like knowledge articles and service portal pages may appear in your apps. Avoid color schemes that don't work well with your existing elements.
* How higher contrast, complementary colors can guide your user's focus. Use color selection to highlight areas of your apps that require your user's attention.
* How color can be used to provide contrast for greater readability. In areas where text appears, ensure that your text and background colors have a high level of contrast to accommodate both low-vision and color-blind users.

Important:  
Currently, ServiceNow® mobile Android apps do not support using #RGB notation to specify theme colors for the apps. However, #RRGGBB notation is supported by both iOS and Android apps.
