Im trying to change the color of my buttons on my website, I created a new theme and changed the button background color to a solid black however the button looks grey on my website. How can I fix this.
Topic summary
A user is experiencing an issue where a button appears grey on their website despite setting the theme’s button background color to solid black in the customization settings.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Multiple responders requested store URL and password to diagnose the issue
- Store credentials provided: norse-wellness.myshopify.com (password: rtaupo)
Solution Provided:
The problem appears to be caused by an opacity setting. The recommended fix involves:
- Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code
- Open Asset > base.css
- Add the following CSS at the bottom:
.button.button--primary {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
This CSS override forces the button to display at full opacity, which should resolve the grey appearance and display the intended black color. The discussion appears resolved with this technical solution.
