+> #### IMPORTANT:
+> Mermaid supports the theme variables to override the default values for **upto 8 branches**, i.e., you can set the color/styling of upto 8 branches using theme variables. After this threshold of 8 branches,  the theme variables are reused in the cyclic manner, i.e. 9th branch will use the color/styling of 1st  branch, or branch at index postion '8' will use the color/styling of branch at index position '0'.
+ *More on this in the next section. See examples on **Customizing branch label colors** below*
 ### Customizing branch colors
 You can customize the branch colors using the `git0` to `git7` theme variables. Mermaid allows you to set the colors for up-to 8 branches, where `git0` variable will drive the value of the first branch, `git1` will drive the value of the second branch and so on.

+Here, you can see that `branch8` and `branch9` colors and the styles are being picked from branch at index position `0` (`main`) and `1`(`branch1`) respectively, i.e., **branch themeVariables are repeated cyclically**.
 ### Customizing Commit colors
 You can customize commit using the `commitLabelColor` and `commitLabelBackground` theme variables for changes in the commit label color and background color respectively.
