Customize heading colors

One of the issues for me, personally, after applying the Minimal theme in Obsidian is the reduced sizes of headings. This makes it difficult for me to easily distinguish the various levels of headings, as illustrated in the screenshot below:

Consequently, I customize the heading colors using CSS snippets. With just a little bit of CSS, the various heading levels now appear in different colors:

body {
    --h1-color: var(--color-purple);
    --h2-color: var(--color-blue);
    --h3-color: var(--color-green);
    --h4-color: var(--color-yellow);
    --h5-color: var(--color-orange);
    --h6-color: var(--color-red);
}

Note: The CSS rules use extended color variables in order to support both light and dark modes.
