In this article, you will get premium, high-contrast hex codes for primary, secondary, and tertiary buttons, optimized for both light and dark Squarespace templates.

Why Button Colors Matter

Your buttons are the most important interactive elements on your website. They drive your call-to-action (CTA), guiding users to buy, subscribe, or contact you. Without distinct button color contrast and visual hierarchy, users get confused about which action is the most important. A well-designed button stack drastically improves user experience (UX) and boosts your overall conversion rates.

Button Colors for White Background (#FFFFFF)

These hex codes are pulled directly from our premium "Lightest 1" color theme, designed to provide ultra-clean, agency-level contrast on a pure white Squarespace section background. To achieve the optimal button appearance, make sure the section background of your theme is set to #FFFFFF.

  • Primary Button Background: #1A73E8

  • Primary Button Text: #FFFFFF

  • Secondary Button Background: #0A0E12

  • Secondary Button Text: #FFFFFF

  • Tertiary Button Background: #FFB700

  • Tertiary Button Text: #0A0E12

Button Colors for Dark Background (#1A1112)

These hex codes are from our luxurious "Darkest 2" theme. They are engineered to pop beautifully against a deep, dark Squarespace background color without causing eye strain. For the best visual results, set your theme’s section background to #1A1112 before applying these button colors.

  • Primary Button Background: #FFB700

  • Primary Button Text: #1A1112

  • Secondary Button Background: #261A1C

  • Secondary Button Text: #F7F4F4

  • Tertiary Button Background: #3D2C2E

  • Tertiary Button Text: #F7F4F4

How to Change Button Colors in Squarespace

Follow these quick steps to apply your new custom button colors:

  • Click on the color circle next to the specific button tweak you want to change.

  • In the pop-up box, select Custom (instead of Palette). Then, from the dropdown menu on the bottom left of the box, select Hex (instead of RGB or HSL).

  • Click Save to apply your new Squarespace web design tweaks!

Get a Premium, Complete Squarespace Color Theme

While upgrading your buttons is a great first step, it is just one piece of the puzzle. If you change your button colors without adjusting the rest of your site, they may painfully clash with your forms, accordions, dividing lines, and text links.

Stop wasting hours trying to balance hundreds of overlapping settings. The Dozro team has spent countless hours meticulously calculating the perfect Squarespace color palettes for your entire site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How to Check WCAG Contrast for Squarespace Colors?

Proper color contrast is imperative for readability and search engine rankings. You can verify the contrast ratio between your button background and button text by using the free WebAIM Contrast Checker.

Why do I need 3 different button colors?

Having distinct Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary buttons creates a visual hierarchy. It allows you to highlight your most important goal (like "Buy Now") with a bold primary color, while keeping secondary actions (like "Learn More") less visually dominant.

Do default Squarespace themes really fail accessibility standards?

Yes. Many out-of-the-box themes use low-contrast text and backgrounds that make your site difficult to read. You can read our detailed breakdown and see proof of this in our article: Squarespace Default Color Themes Fail WCAG Standards – See the Proof.
