Tired of the same admin color schemes? ZCBRG Admin Color Generator lets you create a custom admin color scheme that works exactly like the built-in ones β€” but with your own colors.

Choose 4 base colors:
1. Accent β€” WordPress theme color (buttons, highlights)
2. Menu background β€” Left sidebar color
3. Menu text β€” Navigation text color
4. Admin bar background β€” Top bar color

The plugin automatically generates all derived colors: hover states, active states, submenu backgrounds, contrast colors, and darker/lighter variants. No need to configure every UI state manually.

Features

  • 🎨 Custom generated scheme β€” Appears alongside Default, Light, Modern, etc. on the profile page
  • πŸ”„ Auto-generated variants β€” Hover, active, submenu, and contrast colors computed automatically
  • 🎯 Built-in Iris color picker β€” WordPress’s own color wheel, with a 20-color quick palette
  • πŸ“‹ 92 built-in presets β€” 16 theme families, from Andromeda and Catppuccin to Tokyo Night, Nord, Solarized, and VS Code
  • πŸ“ Multiple named palettes β€” Create, switch, rename, duplicate, and delete unlimited palettes
  • πŸ“€ Export / Import β€” Back up and migrate your palettes as JSON files
  • 🌐 Site-wide enforcement β€” Administrators can enforce a palette (hard or soft) with role exclusions
  • πŸ‘₯ Role-based palettes β€” Assign a palette per user role, locked or user-overridable
  • πŸ”§ Tabbed interface β€” Generator, Palettes, Site-Wide, and Roles tabs
  • πŸ‘€ Per-user settings β€” Each admin customizes their own experience
