Description
- os: Mac OS 15.5
- `lsd --version`: lsd 1.1.5
- `echo $TERM`: xterm-ghostty
- `echo $LS_COLORS`:
## Expected behavior
custom colour theme should be applied
## Actual behavior
The default colour theme is applied.

My `config.yaml` file contains:
```yaml
color:
theme: custom
when: always
indicators: true
sorting:
dir-grouping: first
```
`colors.yaml` contains:
```yaml
# Dracula

Trying different colour specifications as no effect.
