[Feature Request] Can we please Set the Default Color Theme Again in 7.1?!

We used to be able to change the default color theme on templates, but then inexplicably that feature was removed. 

It is actually an important feature because now not all templates are created equal. It MATTERS which template you start with because they all use different default color themes.

Want to switch directions down the road? Too bad, you have to start all over or mess up your color theme structure.

Squarespace, can we please get the ability to change the default color theme again?

I don't have any contacts at Squarespace to communicate these needs to so the best I can do is post here and hope it makes it to their eyes and ears. Any help in amplifying this request is much appreciated!

Hi. You should post this on Circle Forum or send to SS Customer Care.

@ChrisSE I've figured out a way to do this.

Open up the Squarespace app and click on 'Edit' in the top right corner, then click the paintbrush icon. Click on 'Colours', then 'Site Theme'. From here you can set the default theme for the site.

Crazy that this workaround is needed. Here's to hoping that Squarespace add this back in again soon.

Just to clarify for anybody else stumbling upon this topic Laura's instructions refer to the mobile/cell app. As of writing it's not possible to set the default color theme via the web.
