Volume Bar Colors

Click the Volume indicator → Settings → Style tab

Click the Volume indicator on your chart, then the gear icon → Style:

Element	Color	Notes
Up volume bar	#c9a96e	Gold, opacity ~70%
Down volume bar	#a07840	Dark gold, opacity ~70%
Volume MA line	#f5edd8	Parchment line, opacity ~60%

Tip: Keep volume bars at ~70% opacity so they don't compete with the candles. The parchment MA line gives a clean reference without being too bright against the dark background.

SMA 50 / 100 / 200

Moving Average indicator → Settings → Style tab → change each line color

Add three separate Moving Average indicators (set each to Simple, lengths 50, 100, and 200). Give each a distinct weight so they're readable at a glance without competing with the candles.

MA	Color	Width & Notes
SMA 50	#e8c98a	1px — light gold, short-term trend
SMA 100	#7a9e80	1.5px — sage green, medium-term trend
SMA 200	#f5edd8	2px — parchment, long-term trend (most important)

Tip: Increasing line width with the MA length (1 → 1.5 → 2px) creates a natural visual hierarchy — your eye finds the 200 first, then works inward. Keep all three at 100% opacity since they're already visually separated by color and weight.

TTM Squeeze

TTM Squeeze indicator → Settings → Style tab

The TTM Squeeze uses four histogram colors (momentum direction & strength) and two dot colors (squeeze state). Map them to the brand palette so they read cleanly against the forest green background.

Element	Color	Notes
Bull momentum ↑ (positive & growing)	#c9a96e	Gold — strongest bullish signal
Bull momentum ↓ (positive & fading)	#a07840	Dark gold — bull losing steam
Bear momentum ↑ (negative & growing)	#f5edd8	Parchment — stands out on dark bg
Bear momentum ↓ (negative & fading)	#7a9e80	Sage green — bear losing steam
Squeeze OFF dot (breakout fired)	#c9a96e	Gold dot — volatility expanding, watch for move
Squeeze ON dot (market compressed)	#a07840	Dark gold dot — coiling, awaiting breakout

Tip: Parchment for strong bear momentum is intentional — on this dark background it's highly visible without introducing a foreign color. The gold/dark-gold pairing mirrors the candle palette, so the histogram feels native to the chart.

LuxAlgo Ultimate RSI

Ultimate RSI indicator → Settings → Style tab

The LuxAlgo Ultimate RSI exposes individual style controls for the RSI line, signal line, levels, zone fills, and divergence markers. Set each to stay within the brand palette.

Element	Color	Notes
RSI line	#c9a96e	Gold — primary line, 1.5px
Signal line	#f5edd8	Parchment — secondary line, 1px, ~70% opacity
Overbought level (70)	#a07840	Dark gold, dashed, ~60% opacity
Oversold level (30)	#a07840	Dark gold, dashed, ~60% opacity
Midline (50)	#162b1c	Secondary BG — barely-there reference line
OB zone fill	#c9a96e	Gold fill, opacity ~8% — very subtle tint
OS zone fill	#c9a96e	Gold fill, opacity ~8% — very subtle tint
Bullish divergence	#c9a96e	Gold — matches bull candle color
Bearish divergence	#7a9e80	Sage green — contrast without a harsh red

Tip: Using sage green #7a9e80 for bearish divergence keeps the pane entirely within the forest palette — no jarring red on a green background. The 8% opacity zone fills give just enough context without turning the RSI pane into a colour block.
