@Godber, @handshaper

Okay, I think I might know what’s going on here… and it’s something we forgot to put in the release notes 🤦 That’s what happens when you move so fast, heh!

If you’ve updated your site template, you’ll need to add a new [elements](https://elementsapp.io/) tag to the body to ensure the colour is getting applied when it’s exported.

Your body tag in the templates might look like this…  
`<body {{page.bodyAttributes}}>`

But it needs to include `class="{{page.bodyClasses}}"` so it should like like the following in your template:

`<body class="{{page.bodyClasses}}" {{page.bodyAttributes}}>`

Hope that makes sense, and that should fix the issue for you.
