The Active Color affects many elements of your form, including buttons, selected answers, typed answers, and links. You can change it from the first page of the Theme menu, which is accessible from the droplet icon in the top-right corner of the editor.

Screenshot of the Theme Settings menu, with the "Active Color" option highlighted under the "Colors" section.

You can choose to set a specific color for typed answers as well, if you don't want this to match Active Color. If you're on specific pricing plans and your form is in Standard Mode (not Guided Mode), then you also have the option to set a specific color for the submit button and/or pagination buttons.
