How to Change the Color Scheme in Shopify Dawn Theme

Dawn's colors are controlled by reusable color schemes, not one-off settings per section — change a scheme once and every section using it updates together.

Steps

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on Dawn.
2. Click Theme settings (the paintbrush icon) at the bottom of the left panel.
3. Select Colors.
4. Click into any scheme (Scheme 1, 2, 3...) to edit its background, text, button, and border colors.
5. Add a new scheme with Add scheme if you need an extra combination for a specific section.
6. Click Save.

Per-section overrides

Assign schemes to individual sections from that section's own settings (look for a Color scheme dropdown). You don't need to touch code or an app for basic palette changes — Dawn's scheme system covers most stores.
