+## Customization
+
+To customize colors for the switch component, you can utilize CSS properties `--bl-switch-color-on` and `--bl-switch-color-off`.
+
+Please note that the usage of `--bl-switch-color` is deprecated and should be replaced with `--bl-switch-color-on`.
+
+We strongly advise against customizing switch with any colors other than success (indicating _on_) and danger (indicating _off_) colors. If you wish to use a different color scheme, we suggest you consider about your theming. You can refer to the [documentation on customizing the Baklava theme](/docs/documentation-customizing-baklava-theme--page#customizing-baklava-theme) for more information.
