Guide: How to Change Your PS4s Background Colour

We’re a big fan of the PlayStation 4’s default royal blue backdrop, but sometimes your mood demands something different. Fortunately, as part of PS4 firmware update v2.00, the platform holder has introduced the ability for you to change the colour of the default ‘Flow’ theme. And here’s how you do it...

1. Go to Settings

From the PS4’s home screen, push up to reach the top layer of the system’s menu, and select the toolbox labelled ‘Settings’ to the far right.

2. Enter the Themes submenu

Scroll down the list of options that appear until you reach ‘Themes’, and select it.

3. Change the ‘Flow’ theme’s colour

You should see a list of themes that you have installed on your console. If you haven’t downloaded any others, ‘Flow’ will be the only option that you’ll see. Select this and you’ll be presented with a grid of colours. Hover over them for a preview, and select the one that you like to make it more permanent. Simply repeat the above steps to change your console’s background colour to something else.
