want to change the announcement bar color in Sahara theme.

Topic summary

A user is experiencing inconsistent announcement bar colors in the Sahara theme—red on the homepage, black on product pages—and cannot change it through Shopify’s standard settings.

Initial confusion: Multiple respondents initially saw the announcement bar as black on both pages when checking the provided store URL (deepcellulitetreatment.com), though screenshots confirmed the color discrepancy exists.

User’s goal: Make both announcement bars black across all pages.

Solutions provided:

  • suyash1 suggested adding CSS to custom.css:
html .template--index .bar.js-announcement-bar{background-color: #000 !important;}
  • LizHoang recommended adding CSS to base.css:
.bar.js-announcement-bar.text-colors-inverse.background-colors-secondary {
    background: #000 !important;
}

Both solutions involve custom CSS code to override the theme’s default styling. The thread remains open with no confirmation whether either solution resolved the issue.

Hi
I see it have black, please double check on this

not sure why it’s redirecting there..that’s the product page.

@deep_wrinkle - do you want both black or both red?

both black…one of them is black already

@deep_wrinkle - add this css to the very end of your custom.css file and check

html .template--index .bar.js-announcement-bar{background-color: #000 !important;}

Hi Deep_wrinkle

  • You can try to follow this step

    Step 2: Find file base.css and add this code at the end of the file
.bar.js-announcement-bar.text-colors-inverse.background-colors-secondary {
    background: #000 !important;
}

Result:
