I’m unable to use the new “type”: “color_palette” setting ( Color system best practices , Input settings ). Shopify CLI (4.1.0) returns an invalid setting type error (Screenshot by Lightshot).
Am I missing something, or is there additional support required for this setting type?
This likely comes down to CLI/theme tooling support rather than your implementation. New setting types like color_palette are often introduced in the docs before full support is added across Shopify CLI versions. It may help to double-check the latest CLI release notes or try updating beyond 4.1.0, as older versions can throw “invalid setting type” errors even when the schema is correct.
Okay, we’ll wait then. Version 4.1.0 is the latest CLI release at the moment.
Hey @andrew_upo .
Hope you are doing great.
Color palette is a newer setting type; your CLI 4.1.0 likely does not support it yet.
Just update your Shopify CLI to the latest version, and the error goes away.
Version 4.1.0 is the latest CLI release at the moment.
The new color_palette setting started working with Shopify CLI 4.1.0. No additional actions were needed in the end.
From my experience, this usually happens when the Shopify CLI version or the theme environment doesn’t yet support the new color_palette setting type.
I’d double-check that you’re using the latest Shopify CLI and that the feature has been rolled out to your store/theme version. Sometimes documentation is updated before full support reaches all environments.
Can you share your theme version and a snippet of the schema where you’re using color_palette? That would help narrow it down quickly.
