How to modify color scheme?

What if you come across a color scheme package and you like it well, but you want to twitch a little bit and make it compatible to your taste and requirement? How can we achieve this? Let's understand how this can be done. For example sake let's say you like [`forest-cs`](https://fastn-community.github.io/forest-cs/) color scheme, but for background step-2, you want to change it to brown and saddlebrown color for dark and light mode respectively.

Step 1: Fork the `forest-cs` package

You can fork this package by visiting [`forest-cs`](https://github.com/fastn-community/forest-cs) package repository and then click on Fork. This will redirect you to [`Create a fork`](https://github.com/fastn-community/forest-cs/fork). Then finish creating the fork. If you need to understand how to fork a repo, visit [fork a repo](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) page.

Step 2: Modify the color

Now, go to `index.ftd` module and update the `background.step-2` color. That is, modify the existing color values of the `step-2-` variable by incorporating the new brown colors:

Modifying `step-2`

-- ftd.color step-2-:
light: saddlebrown
dark: brown

Lang:

ftd

Now use this modified color scheme in any of your fastn package by referring to the `main` variable. For more detail, visit [how to use the color scheme package](how-to/use-color-package/) page. And voila! Your custom color scheme is ready.
