    The 2016 theme, in customizer.php, indicates: “Create your own twentysixteen_get_color_scheme() function to override in a child theme.” I’d appreciate any help on how to do this. Thanks!

    Hi there mrcangrejero!

    Let’s see if we can help you with adding a few more styles to Twenty Sixteen, yeah?

    So, rather than creating the function we can use a filter to add more styles if you want. This filter can be found in:
    https://themes.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/twentysixteen/1.1/inc/customizer.php#L214

    The name of the filter is twentysixteen_color_schemes and it is an associative array that is returned. So, let’s say I wanted to add a purple color scheme I would use something like:

    add_filter( 'twentysixteen_color_schemes', 'jmc_child_schemes' );
    function jmc_child_schemes( $schemes ){
    	$schemes['purple'] = array(
    			'label'  => __( 'Purple', 'twentysixteen' ),
    			'colors' => array(
    				'#706987', // Main background
    				'#282828', // Page background
    				'#645D82', // Link color
    				'#5B5669', // Main text color
    				'#6C6982', // Secondary Text
    			),
    		);
    
    	return $schemes;
    }

    Hope that helps you out!

    Happy to help mrcangrejero ??

    Is it possible to change which elements are altered by the color schemes in my functions.php? I’ve tried with not luck–but I’m guessing my code is wrong.

    For example, rather than being able to modify the Secondary Text color, I’d like to be able to modify Border Colors. How would I code that in my child theme’s functions.php?

    Thanks!

    For what is worth, see museum-core implementation of skins.

    Do you have a link to what you’re talking about, mrcangrejero?
