Trying to skip the first row and then make a header for the first row

Power Query:
let
    Source = #table({"Placeholder"}, {{"Something"}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.FromRecords({
    [Column1 = null, Column2 = null],
    [Column1 = "Color", Column2 = "Shape"],
    [Column1 = "Blue", Column2 = "Square"],
    [Column1 = "Black", Column2 = "Triangle"]
})),
    Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom",Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.Skip([Custom],1)))
in
    Custom1

Current

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Power Query:
let
    Source = #table({"Placeholder"}, {{"Something"}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.FromRecords({
    [Column1 = null, Column2 = null],
    [Column1 = "Color", Column2 = "Shape"],
    [Column1 = "Blue", Column2 = "Square"],
    [Column1 = "Black", Column2 = "Triangle"]
})),
    Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Custom", each Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.Skip(_))})
in
    Custom1
