The Guest App allows you to customize background colors across your guest-facing experience, helping you create a more branded and visually consistent experience for guests.

With this update, you can:

• Customize Header and Footer background colors
• Set different background colors for sections and supported widgets
• Preview updates in real time before publishing
• Maintain accessibility with automatic text color adjustments

Supported Widgets

Background customization is currently supported for:

• Recommended Upsells
• Room Upgrade sections

Some components, such as Maps and Banners, currently have limited or separate behavior regarding background customization.

This gives your team greater control over your Guest App branding without requiring support assistance or manual design changes.

Customize Header and Footer Background Colors

You can update the Header and Footer background colors from the Branding settings.

To customize Header and Footer colors:

Go to the Guest App Builder > Styles page > scroll to the Branding section

Locate the Background Color selector next to the Primary Buttons color setting. Add the Hex Color Code or the color picker

Review the live preview on the right side of the screen.

Save and publish your changes.

Customize Background Colors for Sections and Widgets

You can also apply unique background colors to supported sections and widgets.

To customize a section background:

Go to the Guest App Builder > scroll to the Header > click Edit and select the background color for the entire section.

Save your changes.

Accessibility and Automatic Text Adjustments

To improve readability and maintain accessibility standards, Duve automatically adjusts text colors when lighter backgrounds are selected.

This behavior applies to areas such as:

• Header navigation elements
• Footer content
• Banner text
• Product badges in advanced customization settings

For example:

• Light backgrounds automatically switch text to darker colors
• Dark backgrounds automatically use lighter text when needed

This helps prevent low-contrast combinations that may reduce readability for guests.

Best Practices

Use transparent logo files

When using custom Header background colors, we recommend uploading your logo as a transparent .png file.

Transparent logos work best across different background colors and help maintain a clean branded appearance.

Keep branding consistent

For the best guest experience:

• Use colors that match your brand guidelines
• Maintain consistent styling across sections
• Test color combinations in preview mode before publishing
