Link color in Dawn

I am trying to setup Dawn as my new theme.
However I don’t know where to find the link color.

More specifically, I have some custom liquid sections that include links, but links just turn blue if I don’t actually style them, but there is nowere in my color schemes there are any blue colors at all.

Is there no way to have a default link color for non-color-sheme links? Am I enforced to put on my own class and style it that way around?

Hi @PureTime,

Please go to Customize > Theme settings > Custom CSS and add code:

a:not(.button) {
    color: #121212;
}

You can change the color code yourself.

If I helped you, then a Like would be truly appreciated.

Well - it seems this is quite intrusive - also affecting my menu, so I wanted to remove it.

But going to Customize > Theme settings > Custom CSS does NOT show this custom CSS anymore.

However, in my source code (site not published) I can see it is actively being inserted:

And searching in my theme code - it does show up in the settings_data.json:

So now my question is - how do I properly remove it?

Hi @PureTime,

Which section do you want to add it to?

I will guide you through it

I’m all good - found another solution and found out I could add custom CSS to a section too (though limited characters).

Hello @PureTime

Most Dawn sections apply link colors through color scheme utility classes like .color-scheme-1 or .color-scheme-2.

If you create a custom Liquid section and don’t wrap your links in those scheme classes (or inherit them from the parent section), no theme CSS applies.
