Description

Problem to solve

Currently, the dashboard and the website follow slightly different color palettes for all elements. While this conscious decision to follow and different approach to design and development of these two helped us save a significant amount of time, it could be nice to consider updating the dashboard colors to match the color palette from the website which is using our brand colors, etc.
