I’m using a Multicolumn section.
I want just the color of just the container and not the whole background.
Can i do that?
See image below,
Topic summary
Goal: change only the Multicolumn container’s background color in Shopify’s Dawn theme, not the entire section.
Key points:
- Initial advice was to use custom CSS (style rules that control visual design).
- The requester asked what code to use and where to add it; a helper requested the site link to inspect the page and target the correct selectors.
- Due to client privacy, the site link was not shared, and the helper noted it’s difficult to provide precise CSS without seeing the page markup.
Latest update:
- A tutorial video was shared that specifically shows how to set the container background color without affecting the whole Multicolumn section: https://youtu.be/7NPRy09ZCuo.
Context & terms:
- “Multicolumn section” is a layout block with multiple columns in a Shopify theme.
- “Dawn” is Shopify’s default theme.
- “CSS” is the styling language used to change colors and layout.
Status:
- No on-thread code solution was provided; the video is the primary actionable resource.
- Discussion remains open; follow-up questions were invited.
Media:
- An image illustrated the desired visual outcome; the linked video is central to the solution.

@inspirea - using custom css it might be done
yes but I don’t know what code or where to add it…
@inspirea - can you please share your site link?
It’s a client’s site so rather not.
@inspirea - then its difficult to check page coed and give css for this section, please ask client if he/she can share site link
Hi @inspirea ,
I have created a Shopify tutorial about changing just the container background color and not the background color of the whole multicolumn section in Shopify Dawn theme. Here is the link to the Shopify tutorial: https://youtu.be/7NPRy09ZCuo
If you have any follow-up questions, do let me know.
Warm Regards,
