White undertext website

Topic summary

A store owner is experiencing an issue where undertext (subtext/secondary text) appears in grey instead of the intended white or black color, creating poor visibility against certain backgrounds.

Initial Problem:

  • Grey undertext appears when theme text color is set to white or black
  • Issue affects multiple sections across the website auto-essentials.nl
  • Screenshots demonstrate the visibility problem

Proposed Solutions:

First approach (diego_ezfy):

  • Add custom CSS code to theme.liquid file above the tag
  • Initially targeted only the newsletter section
  • User clarified the issue affects multiple sections, not just newsletter

Second approach (namphan):

  • Navigate to theme.liquid file via Edit code
  • Locate and modify opacity value ‘0.75’ in the code
  • Includes screenshot showing exact code location to change

Current Status:
The discussion remains open with two different technical solutions proposed. The store owner has not yet confirmed which solution resolved the issue or whether additional sections still need fixing.

Thanks for your reply.

I wanna fix this at every section where this happens and not only on the newsletter.
