Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/492

Describe the bug
Since commit 91002ec6be the logo has become a kaleidoscopic, multi coloured swap shop (you need to be British and old to get the ref.) of dazzle that cannot be easily themed.

To Reproduce
Set a logo colour via Custom CSS. Apply and fail to see and change.

Deployment Method
Manual

Version of Whoogle Search
Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)

Additional context
I can work around it by overriding each letter in the custom css eg.

#whoogle-w {
fill: #888888 !important;
}
and so on but I'm not sure this was your intention ?
I noticed three days ago (my instance updates every night) but only just got round to taking a look.
All this colour has been making me smile occasionally and we can't be having that :-)
As always thanks for all the hard work.

Hey @gripped, good to hear from you! Hope you've been well.

I had a suspicion that the referenced commit would get your attention, although I didn't realize the the new logo colors would persist even if the CSS for them was removed. My mistake. I'll look into a fix soon.

Should be fixed on main now. Apologies for forcing this reprehensible array of colors on you, but I got a good laugh from the issue title!

Thanks, Yeah I'm well, hope you are too.

To be honest it grew on me over the three days. I may end up defaulting to it ? I just guessed it hadn't been your intention to semi hard code the logo colours, so thought I'd be a dutiful user and let you know.
