Hi everyone,

I'm trying to change the colour of the unsubscribe link in my emails, but no matter what I do, Klaviyo seems to override the styles. Right now, the default unsubscribe link is a pale blue, which is really hard to see, and I’m concerned this could be increasing our spam complaints because some recipients might not be able to find the link easily.

I’ve tried multiple approaches, but nothing is fully working. Here’s what I’ve attempted so far:

  1. Inline span styling – I wrapped the unsubscribe tag in a span and applied a colour style with !important, but it didn’t work. Klaviyo still applies its default blue color.

  2. Wrapping {% unsubscribe_link %} in an <a> tag – This successfully changes the colour, but then Klaviyo no longer recognises it as an unsubscribe link. As a result, it automatically adds another unsubscribe link to the bottom of the email, which looks messy and unformatted.

  3. Applying inline styles directly inside {% unsubscribe %} – This makes the style source code visible in the email instead of applying the formatting properly.

  4. Using a style block to target unsubscribe links – I tried adding a <style> section in the email template to force all unsubscribe links to a specific color, but Klaviyo still overrides it.

It’s really frustrating that something as simple as changing a link color isn’t working. Has anyone found a reliable way to override Klaviyo’s default unsubscribe link styles? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi ​@EllieK - thank you for reaching out to the Klaviyo community with your question!

There are two main places within Klaviyo where the master link colors are controlled. Within Brand settings you can change the master color for all links in your template, or you can adjust settings within individual templates in the template builder. These settings override any individual changes you may be doing within a text block with your unsubscribe link as you are describing, so I hope this helps solve your issue!
