New in Broadcast 6.0

Color schemes

Broadcast 6 now includes Shopify's Color Schemes for managing colors throughout your theme:

Color schemes help ensure the consistency of your brand colors across all sections and allow for easy changes. Customize the palettes in the Theme Settings under Colors, then apply a palette or scheme to existing sections.

Experiment with gradients and other colors to create visually interesting backgrounds and elements that will enhance your store's aesthetic appeal.

If you're updating from an earlier version of Broadcast, you can view your site's color choices from the live theme. This will be helpful when you're building the newer version from the drafts folder. The Shopify update tool cannot copy your original color choices. However, you can view them from the live theme and create new color schemes with the latest version.


Broadcast 5 and Earlier

Configure your brand colors in the color settings. These color elements are used in all the general sections, header, and footer.

Tip: These are your primary brand colors used throughout the theme. Some sections or blocks have their own color settings for even greater control.

Here are some common color elements to demonstrate how the color settings work:

General

Light background

The light background setting is used for background accents like the coupon message in the cart drawer. It's also used in the free shipping indicator with the bright accent color setting.

Bright accent

The bright accent is a highlight color for elements like the free shipping progress bar shown above in red and also the cart bubble indicator in the header:

Sale

The sale color is used for the prices on product grid listings like collections:

  • The sale badge uses a different setting, which can be found under the Product grid settings.

Header bar

Background

The background color adjusts the text inside the cart bubble indicator:

Links

The social, search, account, cart icons area is adjusted with this setting:

Note: When using a transparent header, these colors are used when the dropdown is activated. The transparent header has a separate setting while inactive. That setting is in the next group.

Header Navigation

Links

The links setting adjusts the main header navigation links:

Dropdown background

For dropdown menus, including the MegaNav, the background color can be adjusted:

Dropdown links

Inside the dropdowns, you can adjust the color of the links:

Transparent header text

When using a transparent header, the main colors in the header area include the social, search, account, and cart icons. Also, main navigation links:

Footer

Background

Adjust the main footer background color:

Borders

Border elements are used within the footer for the forms and buttons:

  • The grey horizontal and vertical lines are "Divider" blocks. These have their own color settings within the block.

Text

The default text for content in the footer:

Links

All the links, including social icons and navigation links:

Contrast

Try to use colors that are high in contrast. It will make your text easier to read. Here is a great contrast checker:

  • Example of a good score, 21:1 - White foreground on Black background:

  • Poor score, 2.44:1 - Blue foreground on Black background:
