Cannot get theme modifications to render (color changes)

[houstonhaynes]

Describe the bug I'm looking to get a templated version of the Amethyst theme to "change colors". I've both changed the colors.scss and custom.scss and haven't seen anything shift. I've tried the noted flags such as hugo server --disableFastRender in order to get "full rebuilds".

Expected behavior Site color scheme changes with modification of either colors.scss or custom.scss

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context Just for "laughs" I used the following colors just to see something different

:root {
    --light: #faf8f8;
    --dark: #141021;
    --secondary: #d98d00; /* Orange tone for secondary */
    --tertiary: #ff9148; /* Orange tone for tertiary */
    --visited: #d97c00; /* Orange tone for visited */
    --primary: #ff825c; /* Main orange color for primary */
    --gray: #3f3f3f;
    --lightgray: #f0f0f0;
    --outlinegray: #dadada;
    --million-progress-bar-color: var(--secondary);
    --highlighted: #ffbf8e; /* Lighter orange tone for highlighted */
    --header: #fdaa7b; /* Orange tone for header */
    --title: rgb(232, 139, 79); /* Orange tone for title */
    --scrollbar: gray;
    --scrollbar-track: #DDD;
}

[saved-theme="dark"] {
    --light: #1e1e21 !important;
    --dark: #f7f2fa !important;
    --secondary: #e7a100 !important; /* Orange tone for secondary */
    --visited: #e19600 !important; /* Orange tone for visited */
    --tertiary: #b28a00 !important; /* Orange tone for tertiary */
    --primary: #f58382 !important; /* Retained the original primary color */
    --gray: #d4d4d4 !important;
    --lightgray: #292633 !important;
    --outlinegray: #343434 !important;
    --highlighted: #574010;
    --header: #38c8f8;
    --title: rgba(250, 153, 8, 0.881);
    --scrollbar: rgb(177, 177, 177);
    --scrollbar-track: rgb(51, 51, 51);
}

and here's the output of my console when I run the command

FYI - here's the commit

[houstonhaynes]

This was resolved with installing Hugo-extended and building with --ignoreCache

This might be worth adding to the documentation - and if I find an appropriate place where that can be added I'll post a PR from my fork. 👍
