Colors
Theme settings
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.
