Resource Styling (Recommended)
The fastest way to add custom colors and dimensions to the Android SDK is to override the SDK's resource values.

Dynamic Styling with Resources
Apart from overriding Primer SDK resource colors and dimensions, it's also possible
to achieve a custom theme by passing in references to your app's resources when defining the SDK's PrimerTheme object in Kotlin/Java.
