This tutorial will show you how to use Page colors in Microsoft Edge on a Windows 11 PC. Page colors is a native feature in the Edge browser to change the color scheme of webpages. If you face difficulty while reading webpages, this feature is handy. You can choose from four different color schemes and it applies for all the webpages or sites. We also have the option to exclude sites from the Page colors feature.
By default, the Page colors feature is turned off. When it is turned on, the page colors are applied only when a high-contrast theme (or Windows Contrast theme) is on, but we can change this setting.
