The feature I chose the theme for does not work on one post

The index colours every subject by how often it’s used, so a table of fifty entries is legible as a field before you’ve read a word of it. That’s why I picked this theme.

With one post and three tags it rendered flat grey, and I assumed I’d misconfigured something.

I hadn’t. Reading the partial explained it in about four lines:

{{ $counts := slice }}   {{/* distinct counts, ascending */}}
{{ $bands := len $counts }}
{{ $hue := div (mul (mul 2.0 $span) (float $b)) (float $bands) }}

One band per distinct count — not per tag. Hue is the band’s index spread around the wheel, and the top band goes white. Three tags used once each is one band: one hue, and it’s the apex, so it’s white. Nothing was broken. There was simply nothing to distinguish.
