  • Primary text color

    The text color for hover and active element states where the primary color is used.

  • Heading color

    The color for heading elements. This includes elements that use the .h1 - .h6 classes.

  • Text color

    The color that serves as the default for all text elements throughout the theme.

  • The color for all link elements in both layouts and body content throughout the theme.

  • Outline color

    The outline color used for form element and search field focus effects.

  • Background color
