Today, I have a very sad update to this post I wrote in September of 2020 on the different color/theme options available in EPM.

In early 2024, Oracle will only support Redwood Theme in Oracle EPM Cloud, for all business processes. You can read more about it in this article.

It includes: Planning, Consolidation & Close, Tax, FreeForm, Profitability, Account Reconciliation, Narrative Reporting, and EDM.

In fact, once the switch occurs, Oracle will not even entertain any SR’s on Non-Redwood themed EPM applications. If you are using any of the Non-Redwood themes, it’s best to start switching now, so your users can start getting used to the new look and feel.

At KScope, they did announce that they would have some slight color variations of Redwood Theme available eventually, as some customers like to have their environments use different color themes to help users with testing (Ex: Test is Light Blue, Prod is Dark Blue). My recommendation is to incorporate the environment name into your logo image (logo is unaffected by this update).

If you need help changing your pod to Redwood Theme, find the Tools > Appearance card and there should be a selection for enabling Redwood Experience.

Above is the current look and design of Redwood Experience within the EPM Planning business process.

Are you going to miss the other color options in Oracle EPM Cloud? RIP Blue Skies!
