Checkout Background Colour not the same in Desktop vs Mobile views. Why?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing inconsistent background colors in their Shopify checkout page between desktop and mobile views. Specifically, they want to change the “subdued” background color that creates different colored section breaks between checkout areas.

Key findings from inspection:

  • The color variations appear related to “default-color-background-subdued” in the developer console
  • Desktop view shows more uniform colors
  • Background color is set to #FCF7EE
  • The different colored sections are displayed as <div> containers

Resolution:
A community member clarified that checkout page customization is only available with Shopify Plus plan. Other plans cannot edit the checkout page directly, though basic settings like background color can be adjusted in checkout settings.

The discussion remains unresolved for the original poster, as they don’t have access to the required plan tier for full checkout customization. Screenshots were shared throughout to illustrate the issue.
