Site looks great. I checked audio, HTML, and selected a dark primary color (purple) and the first thing I see is unusable in terms of color contrast. I would expect a tool that looks this slick to work smarter OOTB.

Fully flexible color choice is a foot gun. I've definitely made some very ugly themes with that too. The goal is to have very many themes here, including user-submitted ones, so it might be hard to create something that can warn about issues across all of them. But seeing as we have pretty clear foreground and background color settings with primary/secondary I bet we could make something helpful.

It's very much a pick your own palette experience at the moment but it's a good shout, we could show a warning if the colors being picked don't meet accessible contrast values.
