Hi,

I’ve been searching everywhere to find how to add a solid color background behind my product listing while keeping my main background a specific color. I have an example of what I want to do here that I found online. If anyone could help

Hi @Hoopstar32

Do you want to add that black/dark background around the product listing?
Correct me if I’m wrong - but wouldn’t that hide the navbar - and the logo up top, and everything below as well?

And is this only for the product page? This appears like it’s some form of modal instead of a page - because of the backdrop look.

Using Shopify Theme Editor (No Code)1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize.

  1. Click on the product page or collection page section.

  2. Look for the section settings (like “Product information” or “Product details”).

  3. If available, look for background color settings and change it to the color you want. I can help set this up if you wouldn’t mind

No it wouldn’t hide anything, this is for a product listing

You can add a background just behind your product listings by targeting the container that holds the grid, separate from the main page background. Most Shopify themes wrap the product grid in its own div, so changing that section won’t affect the rest of the page.

For example, in CSS:

.product-grid-wrapper {
    background-color: #f5f5f5; /* the color behind your products */
    padding: 20px; /* adds space around the products */
}

  • Replace .product-grid-wrapper with the actual class or ID of your product grid. You can find it by right-clicking the grid in your browser → Inspect.

  • Your main background (body or page wrapper) stays whatever color you already have.

I also built Easy Edits, which lets you click and change backgrounds for sections like your product grid, or describe the change to the AI and it applies it automatically.

This way, you can either apply a precise CSS tweak or make the adjustment visually through the editor.
