Changing background color of product tiles

Topic summary

Goal: change product tile backgrounds from black to dark grey to clearly group each product’s image with its title and button.

Context: A Shopify preview link was shared. The requester provided before/after screenshots illustrating the current black background versus the desired dark grey—these images are central to understanding the visual change.

Proposed solution: Add custom CSS in the theme stylesheet (theme.scss) to set the product tile wrapper’s background to a dark grey (#292929) and add spacing. Implementation steps:

  • Online Store > Themes > Edit code
  • Open Assets/theme.scss and append CSS that sets the tile wrapper’s background to #292929 with padding-bottom (20px).

Rationale: A darker tile background helps customers associate the correct text and button with each product image, avoiding the appearance that elements are separate.

Status: A concrete CSS fix has been provided. The original poster has not confirmed whether it resolves the issue, so the thread appears open without a confirmed resolution.

Hey, I would want the color of the ‘tiles’ to be dark grey. So that the consumer knows which title and button belong to which product, at the moment it looks like they’re elements that are separate from each other. Take a look at the following examples.
