# CreateTheme


Use the `CreateTheme` operation to create a theme. The `base-theme-id` is the ID of the theme that you want to base the new theme off of. You can use the `ListThemes` operation to list all themes and their corresponding theme IDs.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

```
aws quicksight create-theme 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID  
    --theme-id THEMEID 
    --name NAME
    --base-theme-id THEMEID 
    --configuration '{"Configuration":{"DataColorPalette":{"Colors":[""],"MinMaxGradient":[""],"EmptyFillColor":""},"UIColorPalette":{"PrimaryForeground":"","PrimaryBackground": "","SecondaryForeground":"","SecondaryBackground":"","Accent":"","AccentForeground":"","Danger":"","DangerForeground":"","Warning":"","WarningForeground":"","Success":"","SuccessForeground":"","Dimension":"","DimensionForeground":"","Measure":"","MeasureForeground":""},"Sheet":{"Tile":{"Border":{"Show":true}},"TileLayout":{"Gutter":{"Show":true},"Margin":{"Show":true}}}}'
```

You can also make this command using a CLI skeleton file with the following command. For more information about CLI skeleton files, see [Use CLI skeleton files](cli-skeletons.md).

```
aws quicksight create-theme 
    --cli-input-json file//:createtheme.json
```
