Change the color of notebooks and sections

You can change the color of your notebook or sections — either for aesthetic purposes or to visually categorize your notebook content in OneNote in the same way you might differentiate notebooks or sections of a traditional paper notebook.

1. Tap the Show Notebooks button to open to the notebook list.

2. Tap and hold the notebook whose color you want to change, and then at the bottom of the notebook list tap the Color icon.

3. Chose the color you want for your notebook and then tap Done.
