Understanding the settings that apply to all sections of Scale Theme.
Global Settings
Every section in Scale Theme automatically inherits a set of global settings. These settings are common to all sections and enable consistent customization.
Color palette
Each section can use a different palette among those defined in the theme settings.
By alternating palettes between sections, you create visual contrast and guide the visitor's eye.
