The Sela theme is not allowing me to select colors correctly.

  I want the site title font to be white so it shows up against the background header image I have selected. When I change the theme colors so they match well with the header image, the title font color gets set to a dark gray that I can no longer change, which makes the title illegible. This seems to happen whether I’m changing the background color or the theme colors. It seems like there is a bug in the theme. Please advise!

  Hi there,

  The problem is the changes you make with the site color schemes have a higher priority than the title color change, so the built in tools aren’t letting you change both at once.

  We can flx that with CSS though.

  Pick the color scheme you want and then add the following code to the CSS box in your customizer.

  .site-title a{
  	color: white !important;
  }

  That should take care of it. If not, or if you need more help, let me know!

  Thank you so much! That did seem to work. I figured I could probably fix this in the CSS, but wasn’t quite ready to dive into figuring that out on my own, so I appreciate your help.
