How to programmatically get the theme main color in WordPress?

Question

Is there a way that I can grab the active theme main color like get_user_option( 'admin_color' ) . Otherwise what is the best way? I know theme options are stored under wp_options under like theme_mods_twentyfifteen but is there an easier way to grab it?

Answer 1

The get_theme_mod() function would be the most appropriate for what you wanted. This relies on the theme actually saving a main color option of some kind as a theme_mod (they should be, really all theme modifications should be theme_mod s and not regular options).
