Use this interactive demo to learn how to change the background color in Lucidchart.

‍

‍

Customizing the background color in Lucidchart helps your diagram look cleaner and match your preferred style. Follow these simple steps:

‍

  1. On the left side, click the Theme icon.
  2. Inside the theme menu, select the mode or theme you prefer.
  3. Click the pencil icon.
  4. In the Edit Styles panel, scroll down and click Background.
  5. Choose your preferred color.
  6. Done! You’ve now changed the background color.

📌 Why this matters

Customizing your background color transforms diagrams from generic templates into professional presentations that align with your brand or project requirements. You can match company colors, create visual hierarchy for different diagram types, or simply improve readability by choosing backgrounds that make text and shapes pop. Background colors also help distinguish between multiple versions of the same diagram or signal different phases of a project. A thoughtful color choice makes your flowcharts and diagrams feel intentional rather than hastily thrown together.
