I've tried all the color naming strategies for WordPress themes, but they always break my brain π§
I can't stop using @elemntor's simple strategy:
primary, secondary, text, accent
Here's how these get mapped π
primary:
headings & icons
secondary:
list items, subheadings, price table backgrounds
text:
paragraphs & menu items
accent:
links, button backgrounds, tab & accordion headings, & badges
I have to believe this simple strategy played a part in creating it's robust ecosystem

Added a neat feature to a Gutenberg plugin I'm building...
Show/hide labels ('Category:','Tag:', etc) on core Archive Title blocks & add custom before/after text.
Plus, if you create custom FSE archive templates, it only applies to the Archive Title block used in that template.
