+# Use dark mode in Kibana
+
+The dark mode changes Kibana's default light appearance to a darker and higher-contrast color theme. From the application header, you can turn on dark mode or synchronize the color mode with your operating system settings.
+
+:::{tip}
+If you're using {{ecloud}}, this setting only applies to the Kibana UI of your serverless projects and hosted deployments. If you'd like to change the {{ecloud}} Console color theme too, you must do so separately from its respective interface.
+:::
+
+## Change your color mode preferences
+
+1. Open the user menu from the header.
+2. Select **Appearance**.
+3. Choose a color mode:
+
+    - **Light**: The default color mode of Kibana
+    - **Dark**: The dark and high-contrast color mode of Kibana
+    - **System**: Synchronizes Kibana's color mode with your system settings
+    - **Space default**: Sets the color mode to the value defined in the [Space settings](kibana://reference/advanced-settings.md#kibana-general-settings)
+
+      :::{admonition} Deprecated
+      The **Space default** option will be removed in a future version and automatically replaced with the System color mode.
+      :::
+
+4. Select **Save changes**.
+5. Refresh the page to apply the selected color mode.
