Why is the subtitle grey in my Dawn theme image banner?

Topic summary

Issue: In the Dawn theme’s Image banner, the subtitle text appeared grey and the user couldn’t find where to change it.

Initial responses: Some participants requested the store URL and password to diagnose remotely. Another suggested the color might be hard-coded and advised checking the theme code (Edit code > Sections > banner).

Resolution: The user located the styling in assets/base.css under the .subtitle class. The grey look was caused by the CSS opacity set to 0.7 (making the text partially transparent).

Fix: Changing the opacity from 0.7 to 1 made the subtitle fully opaque, restoring the intended text color.

Outcome: Problem resolved with a direct CSS edit. No further actions or unresolved questions.

Notes: Opacity in CSS controls transparency (1 = fully opaque, 0 = fully transparent). The attached screenshot was illustrative but not essential to the solution.

Hello, I’m using the dawn theme and struggeling with a text color, in my Image banner.


I can’t figure out why the subtitle is grey! Do you have any idea where the error could be?

Please send me store url

Hello There,

Please share your store URL and password.
So that I will check and let you know the exact solution here.

I think it would be hard coded that’s why you can’t see. You can check this
by going to edit code in your dashboard and then in sections go to banner
section.

Ok thank you all, I found the code in base.css → class .subtitle, changed the opacity of the color from 0.7 to 1.
