Is the "Changing the colors" page outdated?

[Andre601]

The "Changing the colors" page does mention that you can override colours using something alongside this:

:root {
    --md-primary-fg-color: #123456;
}

The issue with that is, that this override does sometimes not work.

In my case did the above not work, no matter what I did. Only after changing :root to [data-md-color-primary=purple] did the colour update.
I can't tell if this is just outdated documentation or perhaps even unintentional behaviour from the theme, but either way will this require some sort of update here...

Please be more precise as what you mean by "sometimes". If you can provide a case that works and one that doesn't, we can check if the documentation needs to be updated or not, because I may have missed some case, but "sometimes" is too vague.

In my case did I try the above aproach with the :root thing while the repository itself uses a theme switcher/selector.

It didn't update the colour itself, but changing :root to [data-md-color-primary=purple] made it work.

Idk how to better explain it...
