<h3>Known issues</h3>
Enabling the Custom Color settings may override some of the color changes you have already 
made to your theme. If that happens, you can always copy the affected color settings to 
the appropriate settings on the Theme Options page. Alternatively, you can keep the Custom 
Color option disabled, and none of your changes will be impacted.
