How To Change Colors in WooCommerce

Changing the colors in your WooCommerce store can significantly enhance user experience and align your website with your brand identity. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced WooCommerce user, this guide will walk you through the easiest and most effective ways to customize colors in WooCommerce.


Why Change Colors in WooCommerce?

Customizing colors isn’t just about appearance, it directly impacts branding and conversions.

1. Brand Consistency

Using consistent brand colors builds trust and recognition.

2. Improved User Experience

The right color combinations improve readability and navigation.

3. Higher Conversion Rates

Strategic use of color, especially for buttons, can increase clicks and sales.


Method 1: Change Colors Using the WordPress Customizer (Easy Method)

Most WooCommerce themes allow color customization directly through the Customizer.

Step 1: Open the Customizer

  • Go to WordPress Dashboard

  • Navigate to Appearance → Customize

Step 2: Find Color Settings

Depending on your theme, look for:

  • Colors

  • WooCommerce

  • Global Styles

  • Typography & Colors

Step 3: Adjust Colors

  • Select the section (Header, Footer, Buttons, Background)

  • Use the color picker

  • Click Publish

This method is beginner-friendly and requires no coding.


Method 2: Change WooCommerce Colors Using Custom CSS

If your theme has limited options, CSS gives you full control.

How to Add Custom CSS

  1. Go to Appearance → Customize

  2. Click Additional CSS

  3. Add your custom styles


Change WooCommerce Button Colors

.woocommerce a.button,
.woocommerce button.button,
.woocommerce input.button {
background-color: #ff4d4d;
color: #ffffff;
}

Change Add to Cart Button Color

.single_add_to_cart_button {
background-color: #28a745;
color: #ffffff;
}

Change Product Title Color

.woocommerce-loop-product__title {
color: #222222;
}

Change Price Color

.woocommerce div.product p.price,
.woocommerce div.product span.price {
color: #e63946;
}

Change Background Color

body {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

After adding your CSS, click Publish.


Method 3: Customize Colors Using a Page Builder

If you use a page builder like Elementor:

  • Edit your Shop or Product page

  • Click on the section you want to modify

  • Go to the Style tab

  • Adjust colors for text, buttons, backgrounds, and more

This gives you visual control without touching code.


Best Practices When Choosing Colors

✔ Keep It Consistent

Stick to 2–3 primary brand colors.

✔ Maintain Good Contrast

Ensure text is readable against backgrounds.

✔ Highlight Call-to-Action Buttons

Use a contrasting color for “Add to Cart” and checkout buttons.

Always check color visibility on smaller screens.
