Error importing theme file

I am attempting to import a custom theme file I created and I get the error:

 

Error importing theme file

There was a problem importing your theme file. Please try again or choose another file.

 

I can switch to themes downloaded from the custom theme gallery just fine but whenever I try to import one that I have made I receive this same error. I have no idea what I am doing wrong? I am saving my custom themes as JSON files on notepad++. I have also tried taking successful custom themes and simply editing them with my desired colors which still results in this error.

    You miss "#" for some data colors in your JSON file, please use the following JSON instead.

    {
"name":"ArK2",
"dataColors":["#ffd809", "#3cb371", "#bab76d", "#962222", "#519488", "#26fd2c", "#ffffff", "#d79212", "#c5a236", "#d1d1d2", "#00ff00", "#057b10"],
"background":"#ffffff",
"foreground":"#f2f2f2",
"tableAccent":"#5bd078"
}

    I can't reproduce your issue, do you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.49.4831.521)? Could you please share your JSON file to us?

      Yes I am on the latest version of Desktop.

       

      This is what I have on the file:

       

      {

      "name": "ArK2",

       

      "dataColors": [ "#FFD809", "#3CB371", "#BAB76D", "#962222", "#519488", "#26FD2C", "#FFFFFF", "#D79A12", "C5A236", "D1D1D2", "00FF00", "#057BE0" ],

       

      "background":"#FFFFFF",

       

      "foreground": "#F2F2F2",

       

      "tableAccent":"#5BD078"

      }

       

      Thank you for your time
