3. Colors

The Renovate theme includes a flexible color system based on color schemes. Each scheme groups together a set of colors that are applied consistently across your store's sections and components.

What is a Color Scheme?

A color scheme is a predefined set of colors that you can reuse throughout your theme. Instead of customizing colors individually for each section, you can simply apply a scheme, which automatically controls elements such as background, text, buttons, and other design components.
