+### Colours
+
+You can alter the colours of your website using configuration options. Add the following to the `[params]` section of your `config.toml` for an alternate colour scheme:
+
+```
+    [params.colors]
+        background = "#81c6ff"
+        foreground = "#edf7ff"
+        hover = "#ffba82"
+```
+
+* `background`: Used as background colour of the site.
+* `foreground`: Used for text and the border of the portrait.
+* `hover`: Used for hover of links.
