How do I change the colors of the input / output sockets of nodes?
Thank you!
I don’t think you can. Why do you want that tho?

You can’t (without recompiling Blender) and you shouldn’t. Node socket colors convey information about socket type. Similar role to RGB colors that are used to distinguish XYZ axis.

Thank you.
Because changing the sockets also changes the wires’ colors of corresponding sockets.
The light gray color of sockets (and wires) in the picture isn’t contrasting enough to be distinguished from the even lighter gray background’s color (which I don’t want to change) so I need to change it to more prominent colors.
I know that I can change the wires’ colors directly in the node section of Preferences but doing that makes ALL wires the same one color that I changed to.
I prefer the mode that I’m having which derives the colors of the wires directly from the corresponding sockets, which means I’m having more colors than just 1 so I don’t get confused by looking at my very complicated and hairy node tree.
