# Use themes for consistent color schemes

Use built-in themes or create custom themes to ensure consistent color schemes across your Fabric dashboards.

### Why are themes used in dashboards?

{% hint style="success" %}

### Themes reduce the time and effort spent on dashboard design -

* Built-in themes can be applied with a single click, ensuring the color scheme is the same across all charts and tables in your dashboard.
* Eliminates the need for manually styling each element.
* Better readability with pre-tested color contrasts

### How to use themes to style your charts?

Applying themes in Lumel Intelligence is simple - just click a theme name to instantly apply a professionally designed color scheme that enhances your dashboard’s appearance and readability.

You also have the flexibility to set custom themes. You can assign colors for charts, measures, variances, etc.&#x20;

After designing a theme, you can export the JSON config and download the file. Import the config file to reuse the same theme in other charts.

Just like we did for charts, themes can be applied to KPI cards as well. The example shows how to change the color scheme for a dashboard with KPI cards.
