# DRIFT — General

Controls the default color mode that DRIFT loads in.

## How to access

**Theme settings → DRIFT — General**

## Settings

### Default color mode

Select either **Light** or **Dark**. This is the color mode the site loads in for first-time visitors. Shoppers can toggle between light and dark using the switch in the header. The default is **Dark**.

### Color schemes

Color schemes are required by Shopify but **do not affect DRIFT's appearance**. DRIFT uses its own light/dark mode system (driven by the Default color mode setting above) rather than Shopify's color scheme system.

You can leave the color scheme defaults as they are — they have no visible effect on the storefront.

{% hint style="info" %}
DRIFT renders solid backgrounds in each mode (`#FAFAFA` in light, `#0A0A0A` in dark).
{% endhint %}
