# Error “invalid value” when customizing css

 * When I go to Appearance –> Customize –> Theme Options –> Theme General Options
   and simply try to change some colors on my website I get an error that says “
   invalid value”. All I am doing is pasting some different hex colors into previous
   hex color locations within the custom css and when I go to save and publish I
   get the above error.
 * If someone knows what I’m doing wrong or a fix I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

 * Hii brenvy,
 * Yes you paste/save code into bottom of custom css box.
 * You can also paste code in style.css file after line no. 2463 and save the file.
 * Thanks.
