- Where to find it
- Labelled Background Color in the Collection Settings drawer (gear in the collection header).
- Per device
- Yes — you can set one value for every screen, or separate values for phone, tablet, and desktop.
- Underlying CSS
backgroundColor
In plain English
Paints the whole collection. Padding sits inside this colour; margin sits outside it.
When you would use it
- The entire collection should sit on one background colour.
How to change it
- Open Collection Settings, then "Background Color".
One value, or one per device? Every input in this setting sits under a “Same value for all resolutions” checkbox. Leave it checked for a single value everywhere, or uncheck it to give phones, tablets, and desktops their own. How per-device values work.
Watch out for
- A row or column Background Color paints on top of the collection colour for that band or box.
