5 Ways To Change The Color Of A Samsung Keyboard

Changing the color of your Samsung keyboard can significantly enhance your typing experience and personalize your device. Here are five effective methods to customize the color of your Samsung keyboard, each offering unique benefits and customization options.

1. Using Dark Mode

One of the simplest ways to change the color of the Samsung keyboard is by enabling Dark Mode on your phone. When Dark Mode is activated, the keyboard automatically switches to a black theme, providing a sleek and modern look.

• Steps to Enable Dark Mode:
  • Go to Settings > Display.
  • Tap on the selection circle under Dark.
  • Alternatively, you can enable Dark Mode from the Quick settings by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the Dark Mode toggle.

2. Using Samsung Keyboard Themes

The Samsung keyboard offers four built-in themes that allow you to change the keyboard color without enabling Dark Mode.

• Steps to Change Themes:
  • Open Settings on your Samsung phone.
  • Go to General Management > Samsung Keyboard settings.
  • Alternatively, you can access the Samsung keyboard settings by tapping the Settings icon (cog-shaped) at the top of the keyboard.
  • Tap on Theme in the Samsung keyboard settings and select from the available themes: Light, Solid light, Dark, and Solid dark. Use the Show keyboard option to preview the theme.

3. Using High Contrast Color

For users who need better visibility, the high contrast keyboard feature can be very helpful. This feature allows you to choose from several high contrast color schemes.

• Steps to Enable High Contrast Keyboard:
  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements.
  • Tap on High contrast keyboard and turn it on.
  • Choose from the available high contrast options, such as yellow letters on a black keypad, white letters on a black keypad, or white letters on a blue keypad.

4. Using Galaxy Themes

If you prefer a more integrated look, you can change the color of the Samsung keyboard using Galaxy Themes. This method changes the theme of your entire phone, including the keyboard.

• Steps to Apply Galaxy Themes:
  • Open Settings on your phone.
  • Go to Wallpaper and style.
  • Tap on Themes and select a theme that you prefer. This will change the color scheme of your phone, including the keyboard.

5. Using Color Palette in One UI 4

For Samsung phones running One UI 4 or later, you can use the color palette feature to change the keyboard color based on your wallpaper.

• Steps to Use Color Palette:
  • Open Settings on your phone.
  • Go to Wallpaper and style.
  • Tap on Color palette.
  • Enable the toggle next to Apply palette to app icons.
  • Choose a color scheme from the options available. If you don’t like the available colors, you may need to change your wallpaper to see different color options.

Additional Customization with Keys Cafe

For advanced customization, you can use Samsung's Keys Cafe app, which is part of the Good Lock suite. This app allows you to create custom keyboard themes, adjust key sizes, and add animations.

• Steps to Use Keys Cafe:
  • Download and install Keys Cafe from the Galaxy Store.
  • Launch the app and choose to either create a custom keyboard layout or style your keyboard with provided themes.
  • Customize your keyboard by deleting unwanted buttons, moving keys, adding new rows, changing key sizes, and more.

By using these methods, you can significantly personalize your Samsung keyboard to better suit your preferences and enhance your overall typing experience.
