Per-section color overrides

How to give a single section its own palette without changing global colors.

Updated 2026-05-09

Many sections expose a Colors group at the bottom of their settings — useful when one hero or testimonial block needs a different palette without touching the theme defaults.

Sections that support overrides

  • Header (menu bg / text / accent / divider / transparent variants)
  • Announcement bar
  • Hero banner / Slideshow / Video hero (overlay opacity + text color)
  • Countdown (background, text, eyebrow, digit, label, button colors)
  • Newsletter / Newsletter popup (background, text)
  • Image with text (background)
  • Page hero
  • Map (overlay, panel)

How overrides work

Each section emits inline style="--var-name: value" on its root element. CSS rules in the section read those variables before falling back to theme defaults:

.countdown { color: var(--cd-text, var(--dost-text)); }

So leaving an override blank inherits the theme color; setting one overrides just that section.

Tips

  • Use sparingly. Too many sections with custom palettes break the theme rhythm.
  • Common safe override: a single hero with a darker background to make the next light section feel airy.
