Resetting section colors to theme default

Remove custom color overrides from sections to restore your theme's default color palette and bring back visual consistency.

If you've customized a section's colors and want to go back to what your theme originally set, you can reset them! This brings the section back in line with the rest of your site.

What resetting does

Removes custom colors from the section.

Restores theme defaults. The section goes back to using your theme's color palette.

Keeps other customizations. Text, images, and other settings stay the same.

Brings consistency back if you've gone a bit wild with custom colors.

How to reset section colors

  1. Go to Site in your main navigation
  2. Click on the section with custom colors
  3. Find the color settings (background color, text color, etc.)
  4. Look for a reset option, clear button, or remove the color value
  5. If there's no clear button, choose your theme's default color from the picker
  6. Click Save changes

How to reset colors

Click Restore defaults above the color pickers to reset all colors in that section back to your theme's defaults.

When to reset colors

You're switching themes. Custom colors might clash with your new theme.

It doesn't look right. Sometimes you experiment and it just doesn't work.

You want consistency. If your site feels too chaotic, resetting brings harmony.

Starting fresh. Maybe you customized a bunch of sections and now you want to simplify.

What happens after reset

The section will immediately use your theme's default colors for that section type. This means:

Background goes back to the theme default (often white or transparent).

Text uses the theme's default text color.

Buttons match the theme's button styling.

Everything else about the section stays the same.

Resetting multiple sections

If you've customized lots of sections and want to reset them all:

  1. Go through each section one by one
  2. Reset the colors as described above
  3. Save each section

There's no "reset all" button (yet), so it's a manual process. But it's straightforward!

Alternative: Change your theme

If you've customized colors because your theme's defaults don't work for you, consider:

Switching to a different theme that has colors you like better.

Customizing your theme's global colors instead of individual sections.

This way, all your sections stay consistent without manual customization!

Tips for avoiding color chaos

Start with a theme you love. If the default colors work for you, you won't need to customize much.

Customize sparingly. Pick 1-2 sections to make special, not every single one.

Use theme color tools. Many themes let you customize the overall palette, which is easier than doing it section by section.

Preview before committing. Make sure custom colors actually improve things!

Resetting colors is easy and helps you get back to a clean, cohesive look when you need it!
