**HubSpot moved every account to its new design on 2026-08-31 and has no setting to switch back. The Classic colours for HubSpot template maps the new theme's colours back to the classic palette, in your own browser.**

## Steps

1. In Skins Studio, open **Explore**, pick **Classic colours for HubSpot** and click **Create App**.
2. On HubSpot, open the **Skins** side panel from the browser toolbar. The skin is listed under **On this page**.
3. Switch it on. HubSpot reloads with the classic colours.

## What you get

- Orange primary buttons (`#ff7a59`) instead of dark teal.
- Blue links (`#0091ae`) instead of teal.
- A navy navigation and top bar (`#2d3e50`) instead of charcoal grey.
- Blue-grey lines and board columns (`#cbd6e2`, `#f5f8fa`) instead of flat grey.
- It rewrites HubSpot's own colour values, so every page and component follows, including ones HubSpot draws later.

## Limits

- It changes the palette only. The layout stays the new one.
- Hover and pressed shades are approximate.
- It works only in your browser; each colleague turns it on for themselves.
- If HubSpot changes its theme colours, the template may need an update.

## Other options

- **HubSpot setting**: there is none. HubSpot staff have said there is no opt-out, and that orange may come back.
- **Stylus userstyle**: a user-made "Hubspot Classic Navy Blue Theme" is on userstyles.world. Needs the Stylus extension.
- **Ask HubSpot**: vote on the idea thread.
