Comments

It should be noted that if a theme color is specified as a meta-tag for a certain page (see https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2014/11/Support-for-theme-color-in-Chrome-39-for-Android?hl=en), then the information from the meta tag will override the global theme color option in the manifest for that page.
