Main issue: Desire for a visual, code-free way to change page background colors (e.g., Contact page) in Shopify themes like Dawn, using a color picker or hex input.
Clarification: The request is not about product color swatches (variant swatches). It’s about per-page or per-section background color settings without editing CSS.
Response offered: A suggestion pointed to Shopify’s swatch feature in the free Dawn theme, with a blog post and YouTube tutorial. The original poster clarified this does not address the need.
Current state: In Dawn, changing the Contact page background color requires custom CSS; there is no built-in theme setting for this. No alternative theme or template was identified that enables easy per-page background color changes out of the box.
Outcome: No resolution. The thread highlights a feature gap and a request for a native color picker in theme settings for page backgrounds. Discussion remains open with no confirmed workaround beyond custom CSS or theme customization.
I wonder why Shopify cannot implement an easy way to be able to change the color of any page as desired without having to know how to code css . Just a visual approach as other sections.
Is there a template where you can do this easily without having to paste any code anywhere, just a functionality and attributes when creating the page?
Thank you
Hi @CristianB ,
Seems you are talking about color swatch option for this Shopify has already provided the color swatch option in its FREE DAWN theme.
Request you to refer the below article provide by Shopify how you can implement the same.

Hope this will helps…
Thanks for your suggestion. No that is not what I meant. In Dawn for example I cannot change the color of the page in the contact section. I would have to add CSS code and that is not what I want. I wish there was a color picker so i could pick the color I want or hex code without having to know CSS. It should be the bare minimum to be able to change the color of the background when you create a page. it seems such a basic functionality is still nos possible on the themes like Dawn in shopify
