I need a help. I am using Google App Scripts for creating Google Forms. How I can change form's color/palette?

I tried to find here https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms/, but nothing found.

For the moment you can't, FormApp works with the first version of Forms, so for the moment no templates available programmatically.

I was facing the same issue here and found a workaround: create a "Template Form" with the proper theme you want, then you make a copy of it and do your coding to the new copied form.

The problem is, if you want to custom each form with a theme, it would need several template forms, and the code should be able to select the correct template. However, this is not my case. Here is a sample code:

var file = DriveApp.getFileById('your-template-form-id').makeCopy();
var form = FormApp.openById(file.getId());

Just make sure you remove the single question that is created within the template form if you're adding questions dinamically, else, add the questions you need.

Good to note that once you generate a form programmatically, you can then edit it just like a regular form. You get the link to the editable page from form.getEditUrl().
