Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary, and their contrasting colors set in Site Design, are used throughout the website. This ensures that the website has a clean and cohesive look and feel.
Your set colors and counter/contrasting color are found within blocks, header, and footer color settings. These colors are used as text and background (or overlay) color options along with a neutral palette.
