  The colour i have chosen for my font keeps defaulting back to the set colour for the theme
  I have chosen truly minimal theme and when i change the font colour for the titles and header to a green kind of colour it defaults back to the original blue colour for that theme

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, there. I just applied the same theme to my test blog. I’ve changed the header text color several times and it keeps whatever color I choose. To do this, I go to Dashboard >> Customize >> Colors.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  Then I select the “Header Text Color” and finally, I click “Save.” I wonder if you forgot to click “Save,” because that would probably cause the problem you describe.

  Cheers,
  -Brian

  Hmm… Well, the only thing I can think of is that’s it’s a web browser problem. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then re-start the browser.

  WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

  If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
