Theme settings

Colors

Color schemes and how sections use them.

Open Online Store > Themes > Customize, then click the paint brush icon for Theme settings and choose Colors.

Tandem uses color schemes. Each scheme is a set of colors for one kind of background: a light page, a dark band, a highlight. Sections pick a scheme with their Color scheme setting, so changing a scheme updates every section that uses it.

Each scheme sets:

Color Where it’s used
Background The section background
Background gradient Optional. Replaces the background with a gradient
Text Headings and body text
Muted text Secondary text, such as captions and compare-at prices
Accent Sale prices, badges and highlights
Border Lines, dividers and field borders
Surface Cards and product image tiles
Button Solid button background
Button label Text on solid buttons
Secondary button label Text on outline buttons

Open Theme settings > Colors, click a scheme and change its colors. Add a new scheme with Add scheme. Keep enough contrast between text and background: the editor warns you when contrast is low.

  • Give the cards in a section a different Card color scheme from the section so they stand out.
  • In the scroll story, give the stage a different scheme from the section so Expand while pinned shows.
