What are color schemes?

Color schemes allow you to create a preset choice of colors that you can apply throughout your site. This is convenient because you define them in one location and then if you ever want to change a color, you can change it in that one place and it will update across every section and element you've applied it to.

1. How to access the Colors in the Theme settings?

In the theme editor (Customize), click the Theme settings button > In the Theme settings tab, scroll through the list and select Colors.
