= Use dark mode in Kibana
The dark mode changes Kibana's default light appearance to a darker and higher-contrast color theme. From the application header, you can turn on dark mode or synchronize the color mode with your operating system settings.
TIP: If you're using {ecloud}, this setting only applies to the Kibana UI of your serverless projects and hosted deployments. If you'd like to change the {ecloud} Console color theme too, you must do so separately from its respective interface.
