Maranello 5.0: Native color schemes, B2B features, and more power under the hood
Maranello 5.0 is here, and it’s our most refined and powerful version yet. This update brings you full control over your store’s design thanks to Shopify’s native color schemes, a completely new system that gives each section its own unique identity. But that’s just the beginning.
With new B2B tools, a flexible contact form, product comparison features, and smart upgrades throughout the theme, Maranello 5.0 is designed to help you sell faster, smarter, and with more style than ever before.
Own your brand, section by section
The highlight of Maranello 5.0 is the migration to native color schemes. This is a major design shift that gives you granular control over your store’s appearance. Instead of one global palette, you can now create multiple color schemes and assign them to specific sections, tailoring your storefront for different product lines, moods, or customer segments.
This update replaces the old theme color settings entirely. To unlock the full power of this feature, make sure to review our upgrade guide for Maranello v5.0 and later.
