I worked out how to redefine one of the existing colors by adding a line like $orange: #fe5400;.
But how can I define a new color? I tried adding $newcolor: #E4C1F9; to _variables_project.scss, but if I then use that in _index.md, e.g. {{% blocks/lead color="newcolor" %}} it just defaults to white/none.
What step am I missing here?
