A Shopify store owner seeks help changing a single navigation menu item color (“HALLOWEEN SPECIAL”) to orange in the Studio theme. A community helper (@Made4uo-Ribe) provides CSS solutions targeting specific menu IDs for both desktop and mobile views.
Key Technical Pattern:
The solution involves adding CSS code to theme files (base.css, style.css, or theme.css) targeting specific menu item selectors. The helper emphasizes that code varies by theme and store structure—no universal solution exists.
Common Issues Addressed:
!important flag when styles don’t apply initiallyThread Evolution:
The discussion expands as 30+ users request similar customizations for their stores across various themes (Be Yours, Refresh, Pipeline, Sense, Spotlight, Publisher, Expanse, Supply, Wookie). @Made4uo-Ribe provides individualized CSS solutions for each, demonstrating how selectors must be inspected and customized per store.
Resolution Status:
Most cases resolved successfully with custom CSS targeting menu item IDs, hrefs, or nth-child selectors. The thread remains active with new requests continuing to arrive.
Hello to all the Shopify community :-),
I need help for CSS coding on Studio Theme → I would like to change the text color of only one of my main navigation menu to highlight it.
The “HALLOWEEN SPECIAL” navigation menu should appear In Orange rather than white
I tried to quibble with the code but nothing to do, the color does not change. I’m having trouble identifying my menu or placing my code incorrectly on my CSS stylesheet.

yes please.
Hello,
I have tried this solution in base.css but it doesn’t seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong or is the theme I am using stopping me from making this change? I am using the Be Yours theme.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Erin
Sorry, this code is not universal to all store. It writes according to store themes and design. If your looking same design on this, would you mind to share your store URL? Thanks!
Thanks for the info, check this one.
From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
a.header__menu-item.header__menu-item--top.list-menu__item.focus-inset[href="/collections/new-in"] > span.label {
color: orange;
}
And Save.

Hi,
I got it correct on my desktop version but my mobile site didn´t get right.
Theme: Refresh
Any solution?
You can add !important to it.
a.header__menu-item.header__menu-item--top.list-menu__item.focus-inset[href="/collections/new-in"] > span.label {
color: orange !important;
}
And Save.
