# Theme

## 👨‍🎨️ What is a theme ?

A theme regroups all the global styling colors and fonts variables that will be used to generate the final style.

You can set following family colors.

* **General** forms related colors like background, header and form page background.
* **Primary** are the colors that will be displayed the most frequently across your survey components.
* **Secondary** colors accents actionable survey components like for example [radio buttons or checkboxes](/form-management/form-designer/answers/answer-types/selection-answers.md).
* **Errors** are all the colors used by the survey error messages. You may force the preview survey to show all its error message by enabling the [preview errors option](/form-management/style-branding/style-editor/style.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/style-branding/style-editor/theme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
