If you selected the Classic project page theme in Appearance > Project Styles > Project Page Themes, you have limited options for changing the colors on your site.

Admins can only change the three Project Primary Colors; you must contact our support team via chat to change any of the six Project Secondary Colors. Please also note that there will be no changes on your site if you change Primary Color 1 or Secondary Colors 1-5.

The changes you can make to the Classic theme are listed below, with primary colors changed to orange.
