I am creating a custom child theme. The functions file that the child theme generator created had the following code in it:

/**
* Setup Child Theme Palettes
*
* @param string $palettes registered palette json.
* @return string
*/
function atht_theme_change_palette_defaults( $palettes ) {
$palettes = '{"palette":[{"color":"#2B6CB0","slug":"palette1","name":"Palette Color 1"},{"color":"#215387","slug":"palette2","name":"Palette Color 2"},{"color":"#1A202C","slug":"palette3","name":"Palette Color 3"},{"color":"#2D3748","slug":"palette4","name":"Palette Color 4"},{"color":"#4A5568","slug":"palette5","name":"Palette Color 5"},{"color":"#718096","slug":"palette6","name":"Palette Color 6"},{"color":"#EDF2F7","slug":"palette7","name":"Palette Color 7"},{"color":"#F7FAFC","slug":"palette8","name":"Palette Color 8"},{"color":"#ffffff","slug":"palette9","name":"Palette Color 9"}],"second-palette":[{"color":"#2B6CB0","slug":"palette1","name":"Palette Color 1"},{"color":"#215387","slug":"palette2","name":"Palette Color 2"},{"color":"#1A202C","slug":"palette3","name":"Palette Color 3"},{"color":"#2D3748","slug":"palette4","name":"Palette Color 4"},{"color":"#4A5568","slug":"palette5","name":"Palette Color 5"},{"color":"#718096","slug":"palette6","name":"Palette Color 6"},{"color":"#EDF2F7","slug":"palette7","name":"Palette Color 7"},{"color":"#F7FAFC","slug":"palette8","name":"Palette Color 8"},{"color":"#ffffff","slug":"palette9","name":"Palette Color 9"}],"third-palette":[{"color":"#2B6CB0","slug":"palette1","name":"Palette Color 1"},{"color":"#215387","slug":"palette2","name":"Palette Color 2"},{"color":"#1A202C","slug":"palette3","name":"Palette Color 3"},{"color":"#2D3748","slug":"palette4","name":"Palette Color 4"},{"color":"#4A5568","slug":"palette5","name":"Palette Color 5"},{"color":"#718096","slug":"palette6","name":"Palette Color 6"},{"color":"#EDF2F7","slug":"palette7","name":"Palette Color 7"},{"color":"#F7FAFC","slug":"palette8","name":"Palette Color 8"},{"color":"#ffffff","slug":"palette9","name":"Palette Color 9"}],"active":"palette"}';
return $palettes;
}
add_filter( 'kadence_global_palette_defaults', 'atht_theme_change_palette_defaults', 20 );

I had assumed that to change the default color palettes, I would change the hex codes inside that code. But doing that made no difference whatsoever in the theme. I don’t have any caching and the updated functions file is active on the site.

So what is this code for and where do we go to actually change the default colors of the theme?
