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 SettingWhat It ControlsExample Use
BackgroundMain background color for option widgetsThe container background behind your options
TextPrimary text color for labels and contentOption labels like "Size" or "Color", option values

Best practice: Ensure strong contrast between Background and Text colors for readability.

Primary

Style your primary action elements like buttons and selections.

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 Harmony Tips

Create Contrast

High contrast improves readability:

  • Light background + Dark text ✓
  • Dark background + Light text ✓
  • Similar colors = hard to read ✗

Stay Consistent

Use your brand palette:

  • Primary colors for main actions
  • 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
  • Keep overall aesthetic cohesive
