How to change color of header buttons in Refresh Theme?

Topic summary

Goal: Change the color of the header “Account,” “Cart,” and “Search” icons in Shopify’s Refresh theme. A site link and screenshot were provided for context; the key element is a CSS change (no JavaScript required).

Proposed solution (via theme code edit):

  • In Shopify admin: Online Store > Themes.
  • Click Actions > Edit code.
  • Open Assets > base.css.
  • Add at the bottom:
    .header__icons svg.icon {
    color: red;
    }
  • Replace “red” with the desired CSS color (name, hex, rgb), then Save.

Notes: The selector targets SVG icons inside the header__icons container, affecting the account, cart, and search icons specifically. The code snippet is central to implementing the change.

Status: A clear step-by-step fix was provided; confirmation from the original poster is not shown, so resolution is unconfirmed.

Hi @nadster99

You can change the color of the icons by following the instructions below

  • 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 “Asset” folder, click on “base.css” file
  • Add the code below at the very bottom of the file

NOTE: Change the word “red” to the color you want

.header__icons svg.icon {
