You can override the Chat and Knowledge Base UI colors with an asset catalog or override the UI colors programmatically in the SDK.

## Override colors with an asset catalog

To override colors with an [asset catalog](🔗) in Xcode:

  1. Create a new color set in your `Assets.xcassets` folder.

  2. Name the color set `KustomerColor.<colorName>` and replace `<colorName>` with the UI color name listed in our [`KustomerUI.Color` reference](🔗).

For example, you would use `KustomerColor.activeLinkColor` as the color set name for the active link color ([`activeLinkColor`](🔗)).

Color set named `KustomerColor.historyHeaderBackground` in Xcode asset catalog. This color set specifies the header background of the chat history view.

## Override colors programmatically

You can also override colors programmatically in your code before you initialize the SDK with [`Kustomer.configure(...)`](🔗).

If you set a color in your code **after** your initialize the SDK with `Kustomer.configure(...)`, the chat UI won't reflect the color override.
