How can I modify the color and style of product tags in Dawn 9 theme?

Topic summary

A user seeks to customize product tags in the Dawn 9 theme to match their brand color (#66AFAE) and achieve a specific visual style shown in a reference image.

Current Issue:

  • Tags display as plain text links
  • User wants styled, colored tag blocks similar to their reference design

Solution Provided:
A community member offered CSS code to be added to the base.css file that:

  • Applies the desired background color (#66AFAE)
  • Adds padding and grid layout
  • Styles tags as white text blocks

Remaining Problems:

  • Only the text itself is clickable, not the entire tag block
  • Tag blocks appear too large when containing longer text
  • Font size adjustments may still be needed

Status: The discussion remains open as the initial solution improved the appearance but didn’t fully resolve clickability and sizing issues. Both participants are working toward refining the implementation.

Thank you for the information.

I design it. You can try it.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.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:
  4. And Save.
.product-tags {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
    grid-gap: 2px;
}
.product-tags span {
    background: #66AFAE;
    padding: 2px;
    text-align: center;
}
span.tag a {
    text-decoration-line: none;
    color: white;
}

Result:

I hope it help.

Hi - thanks a lot. It does look better - but maybe not quite right. Be great if the whole tag block was clickable - not just the word. When the block is enlarged by the number of words on the tag, the block is too big. But I’m not sure how to improve that. But again, thank you very much for your help.
