If you use the Primary Color palette option there are two colors your site uses for everything CommunityAlly and AccessAlly related. You can adjust the button color and/or the Accent color.
If you use the Custom color option you can adjust the HTML color code for the color you would like to change inside the Course Navigation section. This will change the default colors of your AccessAlly offering icons if you use the default gradient icons.
