WordPress Tutorial: Give Your Website a Consistent Look with Global Styles

In a block theme, Global Styles lets you coordinate colors and typography across your website.

Go to Appearance → Editor → Styles; this route is not necessarily available in a classic theme.

Back up your website first so you have a reliable way to restore earlier settings.

In Colors, choose background, text, and link colors with readable contrast.

In Typography, adjust font sizes and line heights for comfortable reading.

Try the style variations supplied by your theme and preview the result.

Use the Style Book to review different blocks together before saving.

To customize a block type, use the Blocks section; those settings apply to that type.

An individual block’s own styling can override global settings, so check any inconsistencies.

Save your changes, then review the homepage and a post on both mobile and desktop.
