Why won't my footer color scheme change on my eCommerce store?

Topic summary

Issue: In a Shopify store, the footer’s color scheme won’t update— it remains black even after selecting a different scheme and saving in the theme editor.

Details: The user confirms changes appear selected in the editor but do not persist on the live/previewed footer. The problem seems limited to the footer area and relates to theme design customization.

Evidence: Two screenshots are attached showing the chosen color scheme versus the footer still rendering in black; visuals are central to illustrating the mismatch.

Actions tried: Changing the color scheme and saving; no effect.

Status: No solution or guidance provided yet; the thread is unresolved and open.

Open questions:

  • Why the footer ignores saved color-scheme settings.
  • What theme or setting change is needed to make the footer reflect the chosen colors.

I am having an issue with my shopify store and my footer color scheme not changing when I choose the color scheme I want. In other words it is stuck on the color black and when I make changes to a different color and save it, that color doesn’t save and is stuck on black. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you for your time.
