# Milk: Accent colour options

Milk allows you to either use a gradient preset colour scheme, or choose your own accent using a colour picker.

### Adding or modifying a preset gradient

Rather than add a new gradient switch to FlightDeck, it is easier to modify the stylesheet for a theme preset you don't like.&#x20;

In this example we'll modify the "Pacific Dream" stylesheet.&#x20;

1. In FlightDeck, select the `Pacific_Dream` preset&#x20;
2. The colour definitions are stored in: `yourforum.com/styles/Milk_v2/theme/colour-presets/Pacific_Dream.css`
3. Modify the colour and gradient values as desired

We recommend using a CSS3 gradient generator such as [cssgradient.io](http://cssgradient.io) to automatically generate new code for your own gradient.&#x20;

See: [How to edit code files](/getting-started/how-to-edit-code-files.md)

### Unreadable footer links

Some custom presets might cause the footer links to blend into the background. This can be remedied by enabling the **"High contrast footer links"** option in FlightDeck.
