Shopify theme color settings no longer allow transparency

Hi,

I’m reporting a theme setting issue that started today.

Before today, we could clear a color value in the theme editor (color picker setting) to make it transparent.
Now, removing the color to make it transparent is no longer possible.

What changed:

  • Previously: color settings could be emptied/removed, resulting in a transparent color.
  • Now: when the color from the theme setting is removed, the black color applies.

My questions:

  1. Was there a recent Shopify change to color setting behavior that prevents “no color”/transparent values?
  2. Is there now an official way to represent transparency in theme color settings where empty was previously allowed?
  3. Is this expected behavior or a regression?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

There has been an update to the colors… Shopify is rolling out Color Palette in place of Color Scheme.
