[ Suggestion ] A big issue with TipTop editor limited 7 colours option.

[beats23]

It was posted that the TipTop editor has only seven different font colours because not all font colours display clearly in both light and dark modes. If regular members could select font colours incompatible with light and dark modes, this could cause page viewing issues. This is true. However, the admin or a content publisher should have the option to choose any colours they need. Besides the seven available colours in the editor, many more colours can be used in both light and dark modes. Colours are essential for illustration and content creation. My content creation is now restricted by only having seven different colours in the editor with which to create. 

The colour picker palette option can be assigned to the ACP editor permission settings, giving access to a chosen group. Other customers also mentioned the issue of only having seven font colours in the editor. I hope you can reconsider your stance and give us the option to have a colour picker palette from which users can create any colour they need. 

 

Example.

This pop-up dialogue was created in IPSv4 Ckeditor using the standard red colour. The bright red text "Restricted Access!" clearly illustrates the message's purpose. The brighter red font looks much better than a pale red colour and displays clearly in light and dark mode.

 

 

This pop-up dialogue was created in the IPSv5 TipTop editor using the one red colour available. As you can see, this red colour is pale and not vibrant, and it does not correctly illustrate the message's purpose as I Intended.

 

 

I see on the TipTop website that the editor's font colour list can have colour swatches and a colour picker palette, from which users can create any colour they need.

It is supposed to include all colors and we are free to choose them even if it does not support dark mode

This was made as an intentional choice within the software, to ensure compatibility with both Dark and Light, no matter what is chosen.

Random question: is this dynamic depending on what theme colours are set in V5's Theme Editor? I imagine as-is the seven colour options work well with the default light/dark colour scheme, but if I then customised the V5 theme to have a blue background as the light theme and a dark red as the dark theme... would those seven colours dynamically change to be compatible with the tweaked colour scheme, or would an admin need to make further customisations to ensure compatibility?

Im going to bow to the knowledge of @Ehren on that one

Nope, it's not dynamic yet, but I imagine that's something I could do in the future with relative color syntax. With that said, when you select a colour from the editor, you'd probably expect that colour to be the same across on all light (or dark) themes - although I guess a slight change to the brightness (to ensure sufficient contrast) would be okay.
