Color Settings in Minimum Pro Not working

[pelgen]

Ok so I go to Appearance>Themes>Customise and there are color settings to change the back ground color in the minimum pro theme. I assume that it wil change the accent color which is blue by default.

But when making changes to the color picker, NOTHING in the site updates. Why have this as an option in Customize theme if its not going to work.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this short of actually editing the css directly?

Or am I missing the purpose of the color change settings in the theme

Thanks

Oh Man! Can I relate to this!
Ed - you're right, it 'should' work the way you expect it to, but unfortunately, that's not how it was meant to work.
So - maybe you looked at several pages in your site after you made your color changes? Did you see the color change anywhere, like in different templates, or anywhere except the home page?
I don't know about Minimum specifically, but generally, the 'home page' is an exception to the rule and the 'settings' section of Genesis doesn't necessarily affect the home page. So the way the thinking goes, you're supposed to magically know that and you're also supposed to jump into the css of the child theme and edit the colors for the home page elements directly.
I don't own Minimum, so I can't give you a specific line reference into the style.css, but if you poke around in there (make a backup first), don't be surprised if you find some nice annotations to guide you along the way.

To summarize, the settings affect 'the whole site,' and the home page is an exception to sitewide modifications, so it's got it's own separate styles, and that's on purpose so you don't accidentally change the home page.
