Hi Breckconley,

You can literally put in any colour you like (Including everyone's favourite colour: tomato :) ).

You can do Hexadecimal colours, rgb colours and if you feel very ambitious you can even use a gradient.

Just do a google search for these topics and you will find a ton of content on the matter

Hope this helps!
