Since dark mode is available as a user preference setting within the app, having separate palettes ensures your charts look great regardless of which theme users choose.

### Set the palette as the default

Once you have created your palette, you can set it as the default palette by clicking on the `Use this theme` button.
Once you have created your palette, you can set it as the default palette for the current mode (light or dark) by clicking on the `Use this theme` button.
