How to change color of menu drawer Dawn theme

Topic summary

A user successfully created a hamburger menu in Shopify’s Dawn theme but encountered a black menu drawer background and wanted to change its color and font.

Solution Provided:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  • Open Asset → base.css
  • Add CSS code: #menu-drawer { background: #444b3e; } at the bottom of the file

The original poster confirmed this solution worked. However, a follow-up issue emerged where the color change only applied to the first page of collections, not subsequent pages. The second user also noted text visibility problems due to background color, and included screenshots demonstrating the inconsistent behavior across collection pages.

Status: Partially resolved - initial color change successful, but pagination issue remains unaddressed.

Hi,

I have a Shopify store, and there are many collections in it. Your method worked, but not completely. The first page changed color, but the next page did not, I will attach a photo for a better explanation. Maybe you can help me?)

this photo has text but it’s not visible, that’s why I want to change the background color
