Color Palette

Fit Check uses Shopify’s Color palette setting as the base brand palette. The palette supplies default background and foreground values, and the theme derives readable fallbacks when an optional color field is left blank.

Use the Color palette guide for the screenshot-led workflow and palette-versus-direct-color decision rules.

After setting the palette, review the direct color controls in these global groups:

GroupControls
TypographyPage text, heading, primary, and primary hover colors.
Page layoutPage background, border, and shadow colors.
ButtonsPrimary, secondary, and alternative button background, text, border, and hover colors.
Input fieldsInput background, text, border, hover background, and focus border colors.
BadgesSale, sold-out, search-result, and custom badge background/text colors.
DrawersDrawer background, text, border, and shadow colors.
ModalsPopover/modal background, text, border, shadow, and quick-add colors.
PillsPill background, text, and border colors.
Variant pickersVariant, selected variant, hover, and dropdown colors.

Most sections expose a direct Background color field. Leave it blank when the section should inherit the global page background.

Typography

Configure 5 independent font slots:

Use the Typography guide for the screenshot-led setup workflow, including H1-H6 presets and local block Style menus.

SlotUsed For
HeadingSection headings, page titles
SubheadingSubheadings (H4–H6 by default)
BodyParagraphs, descriptions, general text
DisplayLarge display text, hero sections
AlternativeAccent text, special typographic treatments

Each slot sets a font family from Shopify’s font library. Paragraph, heading, badge, pill, and input letter-spacing controls are separate settings.

Heading Levels (H1–H6)

Each heading level (H1–H6) can be independently configured with:

  • Font slot — choose which of the 5 font slots to use
  • Size — from 10px to 184px
  • Line height — Tight, Snug, Normal, Relaxed, Loose, Extra loose
