Notes
Follow steps 1-7, in order, to correctly build a theme to your design needs.
Make sure Hello Elementor is set as the active theme.
You must disable Elementor’s Default Colors and Fonts. From the Admin Dashboard look under Elementor – Settings – General and make sure both Disable Default Colors and Disable Default Fonts are both Checked, then click Save Changes. Disabling them will also stop a redundant CSS file from being loaded on the front end.
Click on [ ] in the top left and then [ Site Settings ], [ Layout ]. Under Layout Settings find ot option for Default Page Layout and set it to Elementor Full Width. Once complete click on the bottom left.

3. Global Colors
Click on [ ] in the top left and then [ Site Settings ], [ Global Colors ]. Click on the color boxes to the right of the HEX color codes to bring up the Color Picker. Here you can edit the HEX code and or the transparency. You can also click on the names like “Default 3” to rename them. Be sure to remove any Custom colors not needed. Once complete click on the bottom left. (The boxes below will show any changes in real-time except for the names, you can click on each box and label it correctly if you would like.

Be sure to set the colors for links as needed in any affected widget. Typically I only change the link color per column when building by selecting the column and setting it under the Style tab.)
