Hello, I’m working on my website and want all of the backgrounds to be black, with text being white. I coded all the body text to appear white, but now the text in the the product filter drop-down menus blends into the background. Looking to change the background to black so all the filter text can be seen. I’ve tried a few different code edits from the community channels but nothing is working yet.
