A user seeks to change the background color to #EEE9DD and text color to #353535 for their Shopify blog and blog post templates, noting that no built-in color scheme options exist in the template editor.
Initial Problem:
Both background and text currently appear white on blog posts
Theme customizer lacks color scheme settings for blog templates
Solutions Attempted:
First CSS solution (adding code to theme.liquid) did not work
Second CSS solution successfully updated the blog listing page background by targeting a specific section ID in the CSS file
Current Status:
Blog template background is now fixed
Blog post template background still needs adjustment
Helper is requesting a preview URL (not admin link) to diagnose the blog post styling issue and provide targeted CSS code
The discussion remains ongoing as the user learns how to share the correct preview link for further troubleshooting.
