In Magento, changing the colour of prices can improve user experience by making important pricing information stand out or align with your brand’s aesthetic. This feature is typically implemented by modifying or extending Magento’s theme files or stylesheets.

Steps to Change the Price Colour in Magento

  1. Identify the Theme:
    • First, identify the active theme used by your Magento store. You can find this information by going to Content > Design > Configuration in the Magento admin panel.
  2. Locate the Appropriate Stylesheet:
    • Once you identify the active theme, navigate to the following directory:
    javascript
    <Magento_Root>/app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<Theme>/web/css
    • If you’re using a custom theme, look for your custom theme folder. Otherwise, modify the default theme styles.
  3. Add a Custom CSS File (Optional):
    • If the styles are already defined in the main styles.css, it’s better to override this by creating a separate file.
    • Create a new custom CSS file, e.g., custom-styles.css, in the css directory.
  4. Update or Override Price Style Rules:
    • Locate the CSS rule that controls price styling or add a new rule to your custom CSS file. For instance:
    css
    /* custom-styles.css */
    .price {
    color: #FF5733; /* Desired color code */
    font-weight: bold; /* Optional: To make prices stand out */
    }
  5. Reference the Custom CSS File:
    • Reference the new CSS file in the theme’s layout XML file to ensure it’s loaded correctly. You can modify the default_head_blocks.xml file, or create a new default_head_blocks.xml if one does not exist.

    Example of including the custom CSS in the layout file:

    xml
    <!-- Add this to the appropriate XML file -->
    <head>
    <css src="css/custom-styles.css"/>
    </head>
  6. Clear Magento Cache:
    • After making changes, make sure to clear the cache so that Magento can serve the updated styles. Run the following command:
    bash
    bin/magento cache:clean
    bin/magento cache:flush
  7. Verify the Changes:
    • Open your store, and verify that the new price colour has been correctly applied.

Additional Tips:

  • If you have multiple store views or themes, ensure the changes are made for the appropriate configurations.
  • Use CSS media queries to tailor the styles for different screen sizes and devices.
