You now can create and use custom colors and highlights in the Editor. The updated color picker lets you pick custom colors and pin your favorites.

You also get a new "Recent" colors line...
(If you find the recent color line adds too much color clutter, you can disable it via the *Gear* -> "Bars" menu.)

Type in your own colors or choose from the picker

Drag your favorites, plus most recently used

                    Please use this responsibly.                    
TIP: Harsh color combinations can sometimes be difficult to read, so make good choices if you want people to actually read what you write. *Wink*

A couple quick notes:
The pinned color palette is only available on Desktop. In addition, pinned and recent colors are both stored in your browser's on-device storage, not on your WdC account. That means if you switch browsers or devices, your recents and pins don't follow you.

If you run into problems, please let us know at "Bug Reporting" ! Enjoy!
