I’ve figured it out. In Appearance –> Customize –> Additional CSS, add a line to change any of the variable colors in global-styles-inline-css (this CSS is included in the page head section). The CSS update will look like this in your additional CSS update:
body { –wp–preset–color–picton-blue:#cc248b; } replace #cc248b with whatever color you want.
The other theme variable colors you can change to meet your website’s needs are:
–wp–preset–color–black: #000000;
–wp–preset–color–cyan-bluish-gray: #abb8c3;
–wp–preset–color–white: #ffffff;
