@supernovia I have done all of this but the problem remains. None of the theme colors listed are even in the light blue color shown on the live site.

How do you save as a draft? I am going to Customize and then I change the individual theme colors, then editing using the Edit Page button. The register/sponsor buttons, background to the date/location, and the About sections at the bottom are all changed to gold in the editor, but they display as blue in the live site.
