How to change what color scheme the background uses

Topic summary

A user wants to change the color scheme used on their store’s home page while keeping color scheme 1 for product pages. The default is currently set to color scheme 1, but there’s no visible option to change which scheme the home page uses.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Multiple responders suggested adding custom CSS code to the theme.liquid file (above the tag) using template conditionals like {% if template == 'index' %}
  • Others recommended navigating to: Online Store → Theme Settings → Colors → Add New Scheme, then selecting the desired scheme for specific sections

Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved. The original poster tried implementing the CSS code solution but reports it’s not working. They clarify that their theme settings don’t provide an option to change which color scheme the home page uses, and the system won’t allow them to modify this setting despite it defaulting to color scheme 1.

There is no way to change what color scheme the home page uses. The default is color scheme 1 and it won’t let me change it.
