How Can I Change The Color For One Of The Words In Header Bar?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user wants to change the color of a specific word in their header bar to red but doesn’t know how to implement the CSS code properly. They’re using the Reformation theme on Shopify.

Proposed Solution:

  • Navigate to Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  • Locate the CSS file in the Assets folder (typically base.css, style.css, or theme.css)
  • Add CSS code targeting the specific menu item using nth-child selector to apply red color

Current Issue:
The user reports they cannot find the standard CSS files (base.css, style.css, theme.css) in their Assets folder. A helper suggests this is because the Reformation theme is a paid theme that uses app.css instead.

The discussion remains open as the solution needs to be adapted for the specific theme structure.

Thanks! try 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:
.full-menu li:nth-child(5) > a {
    color: red;
}

Please don’t forget to Like and Mark Solution to the post that helped you. Thanks!
