How Do I Change the Color of a Drop Down Menu in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 15, 2022 @ 1:57 pm

There is one easy way to change the color of a drop-down menu in Squarespace. That is to input a “Custom CSS” code which allows you to make custom changes to your Squarespace website.

The default color of the drop-down menu is white. To change this, go to “Design” in the left menu.

From there, click on the “Custom CSS” option.

In the Custom CSS window, you can specify the color you want to apply. Just input the code below in the space provided and it will automatically be applied to your drop-down menu.

.header-nav-folder-content{background:<color of your choice>!important}

PRO TIP: If you are not a web developer or familiar with HTML/CSS, we recommend against trying to change the color of a drop-down menu in Squarespace. While it is possible to do so with some coding knowledge, it is easy to make mistakes that could break your website.

Once you have added this code, click “Save” at the top-left corner. Your drop-down menu should now be the new color that you selected!
