Updating the Booking Engine colour scheme
Please note that the colour scheme of a booking engine can only be changed by a NightsBridge team member.
How to request a colour change for the booking engine
Personalising the booking engine colour scheme is a good way to match the look and feel of your website.
NightsBridge can assist with changing the colour used on your booking engine.
The colour change will impact:
- the booking engine header
- the 'Check Availability' button
- the room type header
- and the 'View Rates & Book' button
To request a change you will need to submit the request via email to [email protected].
In your email be sure to include:

Your web designer can provide you with this code. - Alternatively, include a screenshot (picture) of the colour (from your website) in the email sent.
