Theme retirement Ira is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
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 contrast checker when matching colors to make sure your text is clear and readable for everyone.
The General colors have the following settings:
The background on all pages including the home page. Appears in sections that have no background color set.
The line color of borders between sections of a page, and around any buttons and form inputs that have border lines.
The overlay color of a page. This color is shown when a modal window appears. You can see it when clicking the search icon, cart icon, or opening a drawer menu.
Change the color for page and section headings. Headings appear in almost every section of each page.
Change the color for regular body text. This changes many product names, prices, descriptions, blog post text, and so on. This will be the majority of body text on your storefront.
Change the color for link text. Links appear in your store's body text.
The Header colors have the following settings:
Change the background color of the header.
When you use the transparent header feature, note that this color is displayed only some of the time.
Change the color of any text or icons that appear in the header. This includes the menu icon (☰) as shown on mobile.
Note that if you have not uploaded a logo, the text color is applied to your store name as well.
Change the color of border line at the bottom of the header.
The Footer colors have the following settings:
Change the dominant background color of the footer.
Change the text color of the footer.
Change the line color of the borders of the footer. This setting effects border lines as well as input borders, like the newsletter signup form.

The Button colors have the following settings:
Change the background color of the primary button.
Change the text color of the primary button.
Some of Ira's sections allow you to enable contrast colors. When enabled, the section will use the colors below instead of the your regular text, button, and page colors.

If your store uses Ira's mega navigation menu or quick shop features, use these color settings to change their colors. The search bar, cart modals, and the drawers revealed by pressing on a menu icon (☰) also use these color settings.
