Add package to installed apps in settings.py file.

# project/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # Add package before the django.contrib.admin
    'admin_interface',
    'colorfield',

    # django apps
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
]

STATIC_ROOT = str(BASE_DIR.joinpath('staticfiles'))
STATICFILES_FINDERS = [
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder",
]

then run the server.

py manage.py runserver

Go to localhost:8000/admin

Click on the themes model.

click on the django entry to update the admin interface.

You will see there are so many options to update the UI.
