Getting started with AWS User Experience Customization - AWS Management Console

Getting started with AWS User Experience Customization

Administrators can set colors for different AWS accounts. Account colors make it easy to differentiate between the accounts you're currently signed in to. Organizations can use account color to distinguish between different types of accounts, for example, you can use green for development accounts, yellow for test accounts, and red for production accounts.

Note

Essential features for the AWS Management Console, such as AWS User Experience Customization, AWS CloudShell, and Amazon Q, require appropriate IAM permissions.
