Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. .

You can change the Colors of elements across your store, including general colors, header colors, footer colors, and product colors.

Theme colors apply to all sections and pages by default. You can apply specific colors to most sections and blocks in the theme editor. Colors selected for sections and blocks will override theme colors.

In the theme editor, click the Theme settings icon, then click to open the Colors tab.

Tip | We recommend using WebAIM's when matching colors to make sure your text is clear and readable for everyone.

General

The General colors have the following settings:

Text

The color of text store-wide.

Input

Input text

The color of text inside input fields.

Accent / Button background

Used for text links, buttons, and the header message.

Button text

Secondary button background

Secondary buttons appear when there are two customer actions and there is one less important than the other.

Icon
