Theming is not decoration. A chat widget that looks like it belongs to a different company signals to visitors that it is a third-party bolt-on, and people are measurably more cautious about typing their email address into something that looks foreign to the page. Matching your brand is a trust decision as much as an aesthetic one.
A good theme covers more than a primary colour. It includes the launcher appearance and label, the header text and avatar, message bubble styling, button and quick reply styling, the greeting message, and the placeholder text in the input box. Wording is part of the theme even though it is not visual, because a greeting written in your voice does more for the experience than any colour choice.
Clerkzo handles all of this in Widget Studio, so you configure the theme once and it applies wherever the script tag is installed. For agencies running bots across many client sites, this is what turns per-client branding into a five-minute job rather than a design project, which matters when the Agency plan is being used to manage a lot of them.
