The Colors tab gives you complete control over every color element in your product options. All changes are reflected in real-time in the Live Preview, making it easy to fine-tune your brand colors.
9 color settings across three sections let you create a cohesive, branded experience.
Customize all colors used in your option widgets to match your brand perfectly.
Background & Text
Control the foundational colors of your option widgets.
| Color Setting | What It Controls | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Main background color for option widgets | The container background behind your options |
| Text | Primary text color for labels and content | Option labels like "Size" or "Color", option values |
| Border | General border color for containers and dividers | Outer borders of option containers, dividing lines |
Best practice: Ensure strong contrast between Background and Text colors for readability.
Primary
Style your primary action elements like buttons and selections.
| Color Setting | What It Controls | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Background color for primary actions | Selected option buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons |
| Foreground | Foreground color inside primary actions | Text and icons inside selected elements |
Best practice: Use your brand's primary color for Background. Ensure Foreground color is readable against it (use white text on dark backgrounds, dark text on light backgrounds).
Input Fields
Customize the appearance of text inputs, dropdowns, and other input elements.
| Color Setting | What It Controls | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Input Background | Background color for text inputs and dropdowns | Behind text when customers type |
| Input Text | Text color inside input fields | The actual text customers type |
| Input Placeholder | Placeholder text color | Hint text like "Enter your name..." |
| Input Border | Border color for input fields | Outline around text boxes and dropdowns |
Best practice:
- Keep Input Background light for easy reading
- Make Input Placeholder subtle (lighter than Input Text)
- Ensure Input Border is visible but not too bold

Color Harmony Tips
Create Contrast

- Dark background + Light text ✓
- Similar colors = hard to read ✗
Stay Consistent
Use your brand palette:

- Neutral colors for backgrounds
- Consistent across all elements
Test Accessibility
Ensure colors work for everyone:
- Check color contrast ratios (WCAG AA: 4.5:1 for text)
- Test with colorblindness simulators
- Verify readability in different lighting conditions
Consider Your Theme
Blend with your store:
- Match your store's existing color scheme
- Use complementary colors, not competing ones
