Wondering if there is a quick fix with custom css to change the inverse color scheme in Dawn from black to a shade of blue? When I use accent colors, my type isn’t reversing.

Thanks @Nicksopify4984 — I’m not a developer, so don’t understand the, “inspect the section” comment. Can I add the code to that page or do I need to edit a liquid page?

Hello @kramermadison

To provide you with the most precise solution in this case, could you please share your page URL ( with pass if your store password is enabled )?

Thank you and hope to hear from you.
