Issue with Color Scheme in Webflow Variables and Relume Guide

Hey all, I'm trying to use the new Color Scheme setup in Webflow Variables with the latest Relume Style Guide but it isn't working for me as I would expect. Here's a Loom showing the issue: https://www.loom.com/share/675a22f3cede4299af54d29babbed640?sid=16cc358c-cdc7-452b-9da7-4d38d9464f2b Any help would be very much appreciated! Matt J.

Matt J. I found someone else in Slack reporting on a similar thing here: https://relumecommunity.slack.com/archives/C02MS2V0FSP/p1742722622487859 I think from what I'm understanding those color schemes are meant to be created in Relume's Site Builder (in the Style Guide area)...is that correct? In my case I am just developing a mini website based on designs already created in Illustrator. Since I hadn't seen the new Variables look (with Color Schemes), I thought I would need to create my own Color Schemes manually by entering "Color Scheme 2/Text" for example. But that doesn't work. Is there a way to create Color Schemes manually in Webflow without using Relume so sections can inherit colors like this? Or, should I only use Color Schemes if they're imported by Relume? Thanks!

Logan we do have this quick loom as well: https://www.loom.com/share/36c4d72d91264453af1beae10bd49a42?sid=4f9690c6-dcdb-477b-81b8-b5d43d7df7db

Matt J. I actually had already setup mine just like it shows in the video you just shared, but it isn't working properly / the same for me in my preview. Here's a Loom I made highlighting the issue: https://www.loom.com/share/b4b04900024846e9a6434c3ee8934144?sid=54afedca-fa16-41ba-bb3b-651593d13464 Any idea why I can't see it normally?

Logandid you find a fix for this? We are facing the same issue meaning the designer experience is kinda useless as we can't really see how the website looks at all until we move into the Preview function

We saw your comment here: This isn't working for me in the same way. I set it up just like he explains here, but it won't show up on the canvas unless I click to preview and then click to enable custom code. Here's a Loom I made showing the issue: https://www.loom.com/share/b4b04900024846e9a6434c3ee8934144 Matt J. Kaleb J. - do you guys have any solution here? We haven't done anything in our project yet except copying the Relume Starter Project, change the colours and then tried to enable a second colour scheme. (Sorry taggin you as it seems you engaged in the problem before via Relume or here in Slack)

Found a solution: Remove from the Global styles the meta tag. Was recommended by Google AI - first time it has been useful 😄

Moritz yeah apologies for the issues here - I wonder if the reference link to the solution for Google AI was a previous thread where it was discovered that this meta tag was there and potentially a problem. I dont believe I received any kind of confirmation of that though in that thread but this is evidence enough for sure and will report this to the team. Thanks for following up with a solution.
