# Colors

The color settings provide complete control over your theme’s color palette, including section backgrounds, text, buttons, links, quick-add buttons, and upsell areas. It lets you define reusable color schemes and apply them across your store for a consistent brand look.

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

{% embed url="<https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Some sections have color settings. Section settings will overwrite the theme settings.
{% endhint %}
