Hello, I am new here. First and foremost I would like to say that discourse is an awesome piece of software. Anyway, my problem was, I have created my own color scheme through `Customize > Colors` tab. With the `header_background` set to `BE1E2D`. Everything is working fine visually except the meta still generate white color like the following ``. Because of this, the address bar in chrome for android is showing in white color. Based on my research from [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/views/layouts/\_head.html.erb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/views/layouts/_head.html.erb) the `theme-color` should change according to ColorScheme header-background. Also, from [discourse/app/controllers/metadata\_controller.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/controllers/metadata_controller.rb) , we can also see that the `theme_color` should also generate from `header-background` but it is also showing `#ffffff` in manifest.json. ---

Good catch, yeah we should probably take that color from the active color scheme. ---
