-To customize your site’s aesthetic, open `_sass/custom/custom.scss` in your editor to see if there is a variable that you can override. Most styles like fonts, colors, spacing, etc. are derived from these variables. To override a specific variable, uncomment its line and change its value.
+## Custom schemes
 
-For example, to change the link color from the purple default to blue, open `_sass/custom/custom.css` and find the `$link-color` variable on line `50`. Uncomment it, and change its value to our `$blue-000` variable, or another shade of your choosing.
+### Define a custom scheme
+
+You can add custom schemes.
+If you want to add a scheme named `foo` (can be any name) just add a file `_sass/color_schemes/foo.scss` (replace `foo` by your scheme name) 
+where you override theme variables to change colors, fonts, spacing, etc.
+
+Available variables are listed in the [_variables.scss](https://github.com/pmarsceill/just-the-docs/tree/master/_sass/support/_variables.scss) file.
+
+For example, to change the link color from the purple default to blue, include the following inside your scheme file:
 
 #### Example
 {: .no_toc }
 
 ```scss
-// ...
-//
-// $body-text-color: $grey-dk-100;
-// $body-heading-color: $grey-dk-300;
 $link-color: $blue-000;
-//

 _Note:_ Editing the variables directly in `_sass/support/variables.scss` is not recommended and can cause other dependencies to fail.
+Please use scheme files.
+
+### Use a custom scheme
+
+To use the custom color scheme, only set the `color_scheme` parameter in your site's `_config.yml` file:
+```yaml
+color_scheme: foo
+```
+
+### Switchable custom scheme
+
+If you want to be able to change the scheme dynamically, for example via javascript, just add a file `assets/css/just-the-docs-foo.scss` (replace `foo` by your scheme name)
+with the following content:`
+
+{% raw %}
+    ---
+    ---
+    {% include css/just-the-docs.scss.liquid color_scheme="foo" %}
+{% endraw %}
+
+This allows you to switch the scheme via the following javascript.
+
+```js
+jtd.setTheme('foo');
+```
 
-## Override styles
+## Override and completely custom styles
 
-For styles that aren't defined as a variables, you may want to modify specific CSS classes. To add your own CSS overrides at the end of the cascade, edit `_sass/overrides.scss`. This will allow for all overrides to be kept in a single file, and for any upstream changes to still be applied.
+For styles that aren't defined as variables, you may want to modify specific CSS classes.
+Additionally, you may want to add completely custom CSS specific to your content.
+To do this, put your styles in the file `_sass/custom/custom.scss`.
+This will allow for all overrides to be kept in a single file, and for any upstream changes to still be applied.
 
 For example, if you'd like to add your own styles for printing a page, you could add the following styles.
