Design color scheme
By Ionel Roiban (wpdeveloper) on September 3, 2016
Just adding a couple more color schemes, none of them being even close to our brand colors, doesn't make this plugin useful. Would be useful if we could actually design and manage our own color scheme. Need more documentation. Thanks.
