How to make any website pastel, sepia or dark in Chrome

Quick answer: Install the free Lullpage extension, click its icon and pick a theme. Every website switches to that color theme right away, and logos and brand colors stay untouched. It takes about a minute.

Steps

Step 1: Install Lullpage

Open the Lullpage page on the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.

Step 2: Pin it to your toolbar

Click the puzzle-piece icon next to Chrome's address bar and click the pin next to Lullpage, so it's always one click away.

Step 3: Open any website and pick a theme

Click the Lullpage icon. In the Themes tab choose a pastel (like Lull or Lavender), a paper tone (like Sepia) or a night theme (like Dusk). It applies to every website instantly.

Step 4: Give one site its own theme (optional)

On a site you want different, click Only this site, then pick a theme. Other sites keep your default.

Step 5: Fine-tune comfort (optional)

In Adjust, change brightness, contrast and warm light. In Reading, choose a readable font, text size and spacing.

Step 6: Turn on night mode (optional)

In the Night tab choose Follow system or Set hours, then pick a night theme like Ember.

Tips for comfortable reading

Doesn't Chrome have this built in?

Chrome can force a dark mode through an experimental flag, and its Reading mode side panel lets you change colors for one article. Neither lets you choose pastel or sepia themes for whole websites, set per-site rules, or schedule night mode. That's the gap Lullpage fills.

Lullpage works on normal websites. Chrome doesn't allow extensions on its own pages (like the New Tab page or chrome:// settings) or on the Chrome Web Store.
