I've been trying to scratch my head through this most of the day, and I seem to be running in circles.

I know I shouldn't edit the default email templates at all (and I'm cool with that). I've found the default templates in Vendor > Magento > theme-frontend-luma > web > css > source. However, I cannot see anywhere where the colors of this theme are specified.

I don't want to change the layout of the email templates, but I just want to change the default colors (and the logo obviously).

How/Where do I create my own email template theme that doesn't interfere with the actual website theme ?

Thanks in advance

In your custom theme add _email-variables.less and _email-extend.less files. These files are located in web/css/source/_email-extend.less under Luma theme. You should copy them over and then use these files to overwrite or extend the email styles. You'll need to make sure these files are deployed/compiled correctly to see changes.

To change the email logo, in Admin Panel go to Stores > Settings > Configuration under General, click on the Design. Open Email setion and click on browse to choose your logo.

  • yeah, the logo I've fixed. I'm just trying to set the background and foreground colors to match our website theme. So I'm assuming I can just drop those files into the existing theme we are using?

  • Great about the logo and yes that should be it, that's how I modified styles of my emails

  • I would, except that I have tried the above, and it started to cause compilation issues. I had to revert. I'll be tackling this again later in a few weeks, and will update this thread at that time.
