I think the best way to change color is using the theme props or in the doc look something like this :


import { flavourOptions } from '../data';
import Select from 'react-select';

export default () => (
  <Select
    defaultValue={flavourOptions[2]}
    label="Single select"
    options={flavourOptions}
    theme={theme => ({
      ...theme,
      borderRadius: 0,
      colors: {
        ...theme.colors,
        primary25: 'hotpink',
        primary: 'black',
      },
    })}
  />
);

but, I am not stuck at figuring out how to "connect" it dark mode togggle..

Here's an example with tailwind css making use of the className and classNamePrefix arguments:

React usage:

<Select
   className="my-react-select-container"
   classNamePrefix="my-react-select"
...

Tailwind CSS index.css

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@layer components {
  /* .my-react-select-container {
  } */
  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__control {
    @apply bg-white dark:bg-neutral-700 border-2 border-neutral-300 dark:border-neutral-700 hover:border-neutral-400 dark:hover:border-neutral-500;
  }

  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__control--is-focused {
    @apply border-neutral-500 hover:border-neutral-500 dark:border-neutral-400 dark:hover:border-neutral-400 shadow-none;
  }

  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__menu {
    @apply bg-neutral-100 dark:bg-neutral-700 border-2 border-neutral-300 dark:border-neutral-600;
  }

  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__option {
    @apply text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-200 bg-neutral-100 hover:bg-neutral-200 dark:bg-neutral-700 dark:hover:bg-neutral-800;
  }
  /* .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__option--is-focused {
    @apply bg-neutral-200 dark:bg-neutral-800;
  } */

  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__indicator-separator {
    @apply bg-neutral-400;
  }

  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__input-container,
  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__placeholder,
  .my-react-select-container .my-react-select__single-value {
    @apply text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-200;
  }
}

You should use CSS variables to change the colors for light and dark mode. Then you could apply dark mode styles separately using CSS or Sass, like this:

Using SCSS:

.react-select-container {
  .react-select__control {
    background-color: var(--bg-secondary);
    border-color: var(--border-color);
    transition: none;

    &:hover {
      border-color: var(--border-color);
    }
  }

  .react-select__menu {
    background-color: var(--bg-secondary);
    border: 1px solid var(--border-color);
  }

  .react-select__option {
    background-color: var(--bg-secondary);

    &:hover {
      background-color: var(--bg-primary);
    }
  }

  .react-select__indicator-separator {
    background-color: var(--border-color);
  }

  .react-select__placeholder,
  .react-select__single-value {
    color: var(--text-primary);
  }
}

That's the way I did it, but if anyone find out a better way please contribute to this question!
