I've found a bug and checked that ...

• ... the problem doesn't occur with the mkdocs or readthedocs themes
• ... the problem persists when all overrides are removed, i.e. custom_dir, extra_javascript and extra_css
• ... the documentation does not mention anything about my problem
• ... there are no open or closed issues that are related to my problem

Description

In order to override the primary color with

theme:
    palette:
        primary: blue

you also need the following:

        scheme: default

even though it should already be set by default.

Expected behaviour

I expected the link colour to be set to blue.

Actual behaviour

The link colour remains at indigo.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set primary colour
2. Don't set a theme
3. See that link colour doesn't match primary colour.
