Can I Change Font Colors in My Auction?
Yes. You can change font colors in your auction through the design customization tools.
Where to Change Font Colors
All appearance and color options—including font colors—are located in one place:
- Open your auction dashboard
- Click Design & Promote in the left navigation
- Select Design Event Page
In the Design Event Page section you can:
- Select preset theme options (which include coordinated font and background colors)
- Adjust accent and highlight colors (which affect buttons, links, and some text)
- Use custom colors or hex codes where supported
Font colors are often tied to your theme and accent settings. Changing the theme or accent colors updates the text and link colors to match.
Tips for Readable Font Colors
- Contrast – Use text colors that contrast clearly with your background. Dark text on light backgrounds or light text on dark backgrounds is easiest to read.
- Branding – Match your organization's colors while keeping readability in mind.
- Preview – Check your design on both desktop and mobile before going live.
Related Customization
Font colors work together with other design options:
- Customizing your auction design – Theme colors, banner, and branding
- Adding and managing sponsors – Sponsor logos and recognition
