One of the most important components of designing a visually appealing, functional, and accessible theme is color.
Not only does a well-designed color system reinforce a merchant’s branding, but it also has the power to enhance and improve the user’s experience.
In Megamog theme, you can define different color schemes in your theme settings and apply the color schemes to different sections throughout your online store, using a color scheme picker.
A color scheme is a set of colors that applies to the following elements:
Primary accent: Used for focus, active, and links
Background or Background gradient
Text
Subtext
Solid button background
Secondary button background
Secondary button label
Outline button
Border
Price sale
Price regular
Form field background
Tooltip background
You can create up to 21 color schemes in Megamog.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
Click Customize next to the theme that you want to customize.
In the Schemes section, click an existing scheme or click Add scheme to add a new color scheme.
Click the color swatch for the content type color that you want to change.
To set your color, enter a hex color code or choose the color from the color picker. To set the color to transparent, delete the hex code from the text field.
Click Save.
After defining your color scheme in the theme settings, you can assign a color scheme using the color scheme picker in the sections and blocks settings.
The color scheme picker is available only in certain sections, blocks, and general theme settings.
