Hi there,
Note that your detailed theme description page with set up instructions is here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/suits/

Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

If you have not purchased the Premium upgrade bundle which includes the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

See:
Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
Appearance > Header
Appearance > Background
Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

If you have purchased the required upgrade then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

I’ve purchased the custom design on its own, so I can change most of the colours in the theme. I can’t change the colour of the title, though.

I realised the issue. Customisation isn’t possible with that theme. It’s either grey or white, depending on the colour of the header.

With custom CSS you can change the colour of any HTML element, including the site title!

Adding this to your custom CSS panel in the Customizer will change your site title to purple:
```
.site-header h1.site-title {
  color: #bb00bb;
}
```
Just change the colour code to anything you like: http://www.0to255.com/

Let me know how it goes!
