Colors

Configure color schemes, badges, sliders, carousels and the global page background — all from one panel.

Written by Cartiafy Team Updated May 2026

The Colors category controls every color used across Cartiafy: color schemes that sections inherit, product badges, slider overlays, quick-view buttons, and the Instagram CTA gradient. Configure these once and the entire storefront follows.

Where to find it

Theme editor → gear icon (⚙) at bottom-left → Colors.

Settings

Color Schemes

Up to 6 reusable color schemes. Every scheme defines: Background, Background gradient (optional, overrides solid background), Text, Button background, Button text, Secondary button text, Shadow, Border, Border hover, and Icons. Sections pick one scheme to color all their elements consistently.

Product card colors

Card background, Card text, Card button background, Card button text, Card border, Regular price and Compare at price (crossed-out). Together they style every product card on the storefront.

Pay button

Button pay background and Button pay text — used by the prominent Buy now / Pay CTA inside product cards and the buy-button snippet.

Variant options

Background variant, Text variant and Text variant active — color of the variant pills (sizes, colors, materials) inside product cards and the product page.

Carousels & sliders

Dots indicator active, Arrow background, Arrow icon color, Overlay color (gradient behind slider text), Slider text color, and Slider text shadow opacity (0–80%).

Product badges

Each badge has a background + text color: Popular (best-seller green), Sale (limited-offer red), Discount (Save X%), New, Bestseller, Featured, Limited, Hot, and Diagonal (corner sale ribbon). The Badge border radius (0–50 px) controls the pill shape.

Quick view button

Pill-shaped CTA shown on hover over product card images. Quick view button background + Quick view button text (also drives border & shadow).

Instagram button gradient

Gradient start color, Gradient end color, and Hover text color — drive the gradient border and hover state of the Instagram follow CTA.

Page background

Page background scheme — pick which color scheme paints the <body> behind every section. Default: scheme-1.

Tip

Keep text vs background contrast ≥ 4.5:1 for body and ≥ 3:1 for large text or icons (Shopify Theme Store requirement). Verify with the WebAIM Contrast Checker.
