Change Color in One word in product title

Topic summary

Goal: change the color of a single word within a Shopify product title (Debutify theme), e.g., only “Laces” in “Slip On Laces.”

Initial attempts: CSS targeting h1.product__title was suggested (color red/orange), but this colors the entire title. A ::first-letter approach was also proposed, which affects only the first letter and didn’t meet the need.

Clarification: the requester wants just one specific word styled differently, not the whole title.

Latest solution: Debutify support provided a jQuery-based method. Add a script in theme.liquid (before ) that selects the title element via its class or ID, then replaces the target word with the same text wrapped in a span having an inline color style. The code runs on window load and requires replacing placeholders with the correct selector, exact word, and desired color.

Status: no confirmation from the requester that the jQuery solution worked. Images/screenshots accompany steps but are not essential to understand the approach.

Hi @Voightas

This is Victor from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App, I’d like to suggest this idea:

Online Store ->Theme ->Edit code

Assets ->Base.css

h1.product__title {
color: orange !important;
}

Hope you find my answer helpful!

Best regards,

Hi, thanks! But i want to change only one word in title, not all of it.

This code changes the hole title. I want to change only one word

@Voightas

You can try this code

Online Store ->Theme ->Edit code

Assets ->Base.css

h1.product__title::first-letter {
color: orange !important;
}

Unfortunately, this doesn’t change anything about my product title. In the word Slip On Laces, I would like the word - Laces - to be displayed in a different color. Is it possible at all?

Regarding this, I recommend you seek professional help or use a page builder to do this.

Hey @Voightas ,

To change the color of a specific word of an element, please add the code below, replacing highlighted elements of the code with actual data to the file “theme.liquid”.

   <script>
       $( window ).load(function() {
       let text = $("ADD CLASS NAME OR ID HERE").html().replace(/THE SPECIFIC TEXT/g, '<span style="color:COLOR HERE">SPECIFIC TEXT</span>');
       $("ADD CLASS NAME OR ID HERE").html(text)
       });
      </script>

You can add this before the closing tag on the file.
