@@ -113,6 +117,7 @@ As explained in ZSH's [manual](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-E
 Colors can be changed by using [`zstyle`](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fzutil-Module) with a pattern of the form `:prompt:pure:$color_name` and style `color`. The color names, their default, and what part they affect are:
 - `execution_time` (yellow) - The execution time of the last command when exceeding `PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME`.
 - `git:arrow` (cyan) - For `PURE_GIT_UP_ARROW` and `PURE_GIT_DOWN_ARROW`.
+- `git:stash` (cyan) - For `PURE_GIT_STASH_SYMBOL`.
 - `git:branch` (242) - The name of the current branch when in a Git repository.
 - `git:branch:cached` (red) - The name of the current branch when the data isn't fresh.
 - `git:action` (242) - The current action in progress (cherry-pick, rebase, etc.) when in a Git repository.
