Hi nysus,

I'm surprised you don't get an error, as I am getting this with your code: 

syntax error at colors.pl line 31, near "$hash{"

Anyway, changing your code line with the grep and map as follows: 

my %colors = map { $_ => $hash->{$_} } grep { $_ =~ /color$/ } keys %$
+hash;

or like this: 
my %colors = map { $_ => $$hash{$_} } grep { $_ =~ /color$/ } keys %$h
+ash;

[download]
works for me. Your error seems to be in this: %$hash{$_} (in the map).

Output of Data::Dumper on the %colors hash: 

$ perl colors.pl
$VAR1 = {
          'test_menu_hl_color' => '#a74d3d',
          'test_widget_color' => '#eee3b7',
          'test_text_color' => '#000000',
          'test_widget_header_color' => '#c6b989',
          'test_menu_color' => '#004d59',
          'background_color' => 'ffffff',
          'test_article_background_color' => '#ceddd2',
          'test_widget_title_color' => '#ffffff',
          'test_menu_text_color' => '#ffffff',
          'test_link_color' => '#31e500',

          'header_textcolor' => 'blank'
