Hello
- In your Shopify Admin go to online store > themes > actions > edit code
- Find Asset > base.css and paste this at the bottom of the file:
.light {
opacity: revert;
}
Topic summary
Users are experiencing issues with text color in blog posts using Shopify’s Dawn theme, where text appears gray, blurry, or difficult to read.
Primary Solution:
- Navigate to Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit Code
- Open the Assets folder and locate base.css (or style.css/theme.css)
- Add CSS code at the bottom to adjust opacity settings
- Multiple users confirmed this approach successfully resolved their text visibility issues
Ongoing Challenges:
- One user reports text remains slightly blurry despite applying the fix, with embedded images now appearing brighter
- Another user faces a more complex issue after upgrading from Dawn 3.0 to 15.0, where blog post text turned white and is unreadable
- This user needs to change text to a specific color without affecting the entire website’s color scheme
- Their developer is unable or unwilling to assist
Status: The basic opacity fix works for standard gray text issues, but custom color changes and theme upgrade complications require additional troubleshooting. The discussion remains open for users needing more advanced customization.
