Custom Theme Import Error with Text Classes

I've seen a lot of other posts about theme import errors but after checking my very limited code I can't seem to find what's throwing this off.  I know it's something with the textClasses portion but everything looks in line based on their article.  Any help/insight would be helpful...

 

{
        "name": "Standard",
			"dataColors": ["#C4C7C8", "#828A8F", "#252423","#92BFCD", "#125687", "#00694E","#575A5D","#000000"],
			"foreground": "#00694E",
				"foregroundNeutralSecondary": "#92BFCD",
				"foregroundNeutralTertiary": "#828A8F",
			"background": "#FFFFFF",
				"backgroundLight": "#C4C7C8",
				"backgroundNeutral": "#828A8F",
			"tableAccent": "#00694E",	
			 "textClasses": 
			 {
					"callout": {
						"fontSize": 9,
						"fontFace": "Arial",
						"color": "#FFFFFF"
					},
					"title": {
						"fontSize": 14,
						"fontFace": "Arial",
						"color": "#000000"
					},
					"header": {
						"fontSize": 12,
						"fontFace": "Arial Bold",
						"color": "#00694E"
					},
					"label": {
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFace": "Arial",
						"color": "#000000"
					}
			}    
    }

Hey, are you still having problems with this?

I copied the json and it imports okay for me, so the only thing I could think of is that you were accidentally on an earlier release from before the color/text classes were implemented.

Hi Robert, 

 

I am also facing the same issue. I have also updated my powerBI but the problem persists. Is there any other solutions to this? 

 

Would appreciate your help thanks!

@v-xicai I checked those and read through the support article a few times now but I cannot seem to figure out why the text class portion of the code is failing... my hex codes seem to be formatted correctly and I cannot simply delete that portion of my code as I need to comply with my company's branding requirements.
