 * I just downloaded Aries. I am looking for something that is very clean and simple.
   I liked the option to use different colors and was thinking of changing the color
   regularly.
 * When I try to customize the theme, the color option seems messed up.
    -pink accent(
   default) shows blue -red accent shows green -violet accent shows pink etc. the
   only one that shows correctly (sort of) is black accent which shows as charcoal.
 * But it doesn’t seems to matter which color I choose, the website always shows
   blue. Can you help?

 * As I’ve played with it more, I see that the accent is the color that shows as
   an accent (duh). Though the colors are still not changing when I save them.

 * Hey,
 * Yup, accent color is accent color of the scheme, so basically it means that menu/
   buttons / etc will inherit that specific accent color. Then you can change background
   color using Customizer -> Colors -> Background Color (accent color should stay
   the same as you’ve set it in ‘Color Schemes’).
 * If you click on ‘Save and Publish’ it SHOULD save and work. If it doesn’t – there’s
   probably something wrong with your instance of WordPress. If you could provide
   me with some sort of theme demo you’ve setup (and pick some color scheme) I might
   be able to dig into it and see if the stylesheets are loading correctly. As of
   it is now, I can’t really tell what’s going on, without seeing this issue in 
   action first-hand.
 * Oh, and by the way, be sure to check that Customizer -> Colors -> Background 
   Color setting, since IT will overwrite the background color inherited from Color
   Scheme and it might look like the colors are not changing 🙂
 * Hope this helps,
    Tom
