Colors

Global theme settings and how their controls affect supported sections and blocks.

Where to find it

Open Theme settings in the Shopify theme editor.

Usage notes

Set the main brand colors used across sections, highlights, and default theme styles. Most sections use this palette automatically.

Card text follows the main Text color unless a section has its own Custom card colors.

Use the brand palette above for the fastest setup. Saved color schemes are optional presets for sections that need a different look; editing one updates every section assigned to it.

Editor controls

Conditional controls appear after choosing the relevant source, style or option. Saved values may differ from new defaults.
