Change Notice Color

The notice type option will help you define your notice’s context in accordance with WooCommerce’s built-in notice types. By default, WooCommerce defines its notices in several categories:

  • Info: A generic notice type that is often used for informational purposes, such as announcements or user guides.
  • Success: This notice would often indicate a success message. i.e., after adding an item to the cart or getting a shipping quote.
  • Error: This notice mostly gets triggered when something goes wrong, either on the user side fault or code.

Commonly, most themes would apply custom styles to these notice variations in their own unique way to make them visually appealing and compatible with their styling hierarchy.

You can override the color scheme of these notices using the color picker controls provided on the edit page.
