I have a little bit of custom CSS running to give my forum a nicer look, but I’m having issues with color schemes.

The colors I pick in the Colors tool don’t translate into my CSS without me manually editing it. Is there a way to automagically import my selected color into my CSS code?

I’ve seen `$primary`, `$secondary`, and the like, but they won’t work for me for some reason.

Use:

```
 @import "theme_variables";

```

Maybe that should be automatically added?
