Hello World Colorallowing the admin to choose a color - Add a css rule for
.hello-worldthat will corespond with the color chosen and default to#000000if nothing is chosen. The setting will be put in a<style>tag at the end of the<head>.
function mytheme_customize_register( $wp_customize ) {
$wp_customize->add_section( 'my_first_section_id' , array(
'title' => __( 'My First Section', 'mytheme' ),
'priority' => 30,
) );
$wp_customize->add_setting( 'hello_world_color' , array(
'default' => '#000000',
'transport' => 'refresh',
) );
$wp_customize->add_control( new WP_Customize_Color_Control( $wp_customize, 'link_color', array(
'label' => __( 'Hello World Color', 'mytheme' ),
'section' => 'my_first_section_id',

) ) );
}
add_action( 'customize_register', 'mytheme_customize_register' );
