Hi @PeelOut7 ,

You have to delete following commands: . They are not parameters in Add-SPOTheme PowerShell commands. For reference: Add-SPOTheme

PowerShell commands:

$themepallette = @{   
  
"themePrimary" = "#517b96"    
  
"themeLighterAlt" = "ff8200";   
  
"themeLighter" = "#f0ebe1";    
  
"themeLight" = "#58595b";   
  
"themeTertiary" = "#006c93";   
  
"themeSecondary" = "#006c93";    
  
"themeDarkAlt" = "#ff8200";   
  
"themeDark" = "#006c93";   
  
"themeDarker" = "#f7941d";   
  
"neutralLighterAlt" = "#f0ede3";   
  
"neutralLighter" = "#f0ede3";    
  
"neutralLight" = "#a7a9ac";   
  
"neutralQuaternaryAlt" = "#333333";    
  
"neutralQuaternary" = "#333333";   
  
"neutralTertiaryAlt" = "#333333";    
  
"neutralTertiary" = "#333333";  
  
"neutralSecondaryAlt" = "#767676";    
  
"neutralSecondary" = "#333333";   
  
"neutralPrimaryAlt" = "#517b96";    
  
"neutralPrimary" = "#333333";   
  
"neutralDark" = "#333333";   
  
"black" = "#58595b";    
  
"white" = "#ffffff";    
  
"primaryBackground" = "#f0ebe1";   
  
"primaryText" = "#333333";    
  
}   
  
Add-SPOTheme -Name "TY" -Palette $themepallette -IsInverted $false

The script is fine it works in SharePoint Online Management Shell and deploys to the Change the look > Theme as desired. When I used the code in the suggested answer it still does not make any changes to the Section Background color options, specifically the black that is still showing per screenshot.

Question:
How do you update the Section Background colors in PowerShell?

Hi @PeelOut7 ,

Section background colors are decided on the color code of parameter white, neutralLighter, themeLighterAl and themePrimary.

Then set the new added theme as the site theme and then choose the section background color you want from UI.

I have applied the updates however the current PowerShell script reacts differently throughout a site collection. The preset themes make it so the end user can still see the verbiage when a new theme is applied and a section is updated with the new background color. However when updating using this script it appears to throw off the themes and in some area's web part text is no longer visible.

Would it be recommended to apply new site templates before site page creations etc? Seems like a lot of rework with the issue stated above.

Hi @PeelOut7 ,

If the issue still occur you could try to apply new site templates before site page creations.
