However, you can change them to various other colors according to your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this quick tutorial, we&#8217;ll learn how to change the background color of a signature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing the background color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the editor tool and select the cell you&#8217;d like to change colors. The selected cell always appears with a dotted border, as illustrated by the image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor.png\" alt=\"Change email signature background color.\" class=\"wp-image-7107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor.png 783w, https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor-768x482.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor-50x31.png 50w, https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor-60x38.png 60w, https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/changeBackgroundColor-100x63.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clicking the <strong>Cell Properties <\/strong>icon displays a window with options; simply click on one to change it. If you don&#8217;t want a background color, click the eraser icon to remove the background color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add any color you&#8217;d like via HEX code, such as <strong>#F4F4F4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1152\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ChangingBackgroundColor2.gif\" alt=\"Example of changing the background color in the email signature\" class=\"wp-image-7115\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transparent background (dark mode)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to achieve a dark mode email signature effect by removing the background color.
