Using CSS you can style the canvas histogram however you like, for example the following CSS:
.histogram .channel {
opacity: .4;
}
.histogram .red {
color: #dc1e1a;
}
.histogram .green {
color: #12b81c;
}
.histogram .blue {
color: #46a3d6;
}
yields:
For the dark theme used in the first image on this page use:
.histogram {
background: #1a1a1a;
}
.histogram .channel {
opacity: .4;
}
.histogram .red {
color: #dc1e1a;
}
.histogram .green {
color: #12b81c;
}
.histogram .blue {
color: #46a3d6;
}
