how do i make text for email notifications for customers white, and also the buttons white?

Topic summary

A user seeks to change text and button colors to white in their store’s email notifications. Screenshots show the current email template with visibility issues.

Initial Attempts:

  • One responder suggests CSS code targeting button and text elements in theme.css/base.css files
  • This solution fails to work for the user

Successful Resolution:

  • Support team member (DaisyVo) requests the full email notification template code
  • User shares the order confirmation template code (written in Norwegian/Liquid template language)
  • DaisyVo provides custom CSS/style code to be inserted above the </head> tag in the email template
  • The solution successfully changes the text and button colors to white

Status: Resolved. The user confirms the final code works after multiple unsuccessful attempts with other solutions.

Hi @silenceclothing

It seems the screenshot has been taken from Email Notification.

Would you mind sharing a full screenshot so we can check it further?

Best,

@silenceclothing

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.
  2. Open your theme.css / based.css file and paste the code in the bottom of the file.
table.button.main-action-cell td.button__cell a {
    background: #fff !important;
    color: black !important;
}
td.content__cell center table.container tbody tr td p {
    color: #ffff !important;
}

If my reply is helpful, kindly click like and mark it as an accepted solution.
