Quick checklist (to confirm the page is fixed)
- This Area 4 block should now be solid white (not faded).
- Text should be fully readable.
- No red bleed through behind this box.
Common layout cause (why this happens)
On some ShopFactory pages, the Area 4 container inherits transparency/overlay styling from the theme. This wrapper forces a solid background and restores normal readability.
