 * I’m displaying my categories by the following:
    <?php the_category(); ?>
 * Do I have to change my theme code to call something else for the colours to work?

 * Different themes will need to be coded to use these colors the way you intend
   them to. Yes, you’ll probably need to update some theme code to make this work
   the way you need.
 * Some people will want to change the text color, others may want to set a background
   color, etc…
