Add option to stop hub sites forcing themes on associated sites
As much as I like the concept of hub sites giving a common theme and navigation across associated sites, sometimes (quite often in fact) I'd like the associated sites to only inherit the navigation and not the theme itself.
I have a department that uses our company colours for each of their teams within it. I have SharePoint theme's of our company colours, but if I group them in a hub I lose those themes. Or I don't associate them lose the navigation across them.
All I'm really asking for is an option to not inherit the theme. Or I suppose I'm using themes wrong based on the narrow scope they were created for?

While it is a good principle by default, we are now thinking we want different theme colors for certain vertical functions, but like the idea of a common global nav that is security trimmed, as well as the benefit of cross populating news, events, etc. to a few key communication sites with little effort. Agree - this is something that should be easy!!

Why is this even an issue?

This seems like it would be so easy to implement!

Just ran into this problem. Quite annoying this isn't an option.

I also have the same set of requirements. Though each site collection is associated by a hub site, they should be independent enough to chose a theme of their own.

I agree.
And on a side note, the UserVoice system seems to be quite inefficient and unfair. If something has under a certain amount of votes it feels as if it is immediately ignored by Microsoft? What are we supposed to do have an army of bots vote on our issues?

Totaly agree. I would like to have an option to choose
"Automatically adopt the same theme : YES/NO"

We would really like to be able to specify an alternative accent color for sites associated to a hub. The default should be inherited but we should be able to apply a different theme to indicate separate departments etc

Our creatives really care about color, they are graphic designers. I want to use the hub concept to organize their different department and project teams, but all one theme is aggravating to them. Allow individual theming of connected sites, maybe a setting at hun level? We’ll have a mix, hub with all the same theme, hub with individualistic themes

Option to customize the sites theme color after connected to hub.
