Make product description text/font black in Spotlight theme v. 11.0.0

Topic summary

A user seeks to change the product description text color from light gray to black in Shopify’s Spotlight theme v. 11.0.0, as the current color is difficult to read on some devices. The theme editor doesn’t provide a built-in option for this change.

Proposed Solutions:

Two support representatives offered CSS-based fixes:

  • Solution 1: Add custom CSS code before the </body> tag in the theme.liquid file
  • Solution 2: Modify the Base.css file in the Assets folder with specific CSS targeting the product description class

Both solutions involve accessing the theme code editor through Online Store → Theme → Edit code. The CSS snippet provided forces the text color to black (#000) with !important to override existing styles.

Status: The discussion remains open, awaiting confirmation from the original poster on whether either solution resolved the issue.

While I acknowledge that this issue falls short of the desired outcome, I have an idea that I believe might be of help:

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code

  3. Paste below code before :
