Orange also looks more brown in mobile, which I love, actually. (It’s just strange because it’s orange in desktop. It could be two different colors.) I feel like the colors there are easier on the eyes and generally looks better together when you use a lot of colors in one layout. (I’m on Light Mode.)

Not only are additional colors necessary, but for the longest time, I’ve wanted to use text colors as background colors and background colors as text colors to create colorful buttons.

Quoting an old comment of mine where I talked about the importance of custom colors for the upcoming Calendar View:

@Kerstie

In Asana, done tasks are faded out. In ClickUp, they have statuses that you can customize and assign colors. I always assign deeper colors for to-do and ongoing statuses, and their lighter versions for done statuses.

For this to happen in Anytype, ideally there’d be a color picker where you can input hex codes. Or at the very least, the vibrant colors should not be exclusive to texts and the lighter ones to backgrounds. I’d use it the other way and assign the vibrant ones as background for my to-dos, then the lighter ones for my completed tasks.

Also related: Black needs to be black and not “default”, so you can assign the color when the default is something else. (Example: black texts on a red callout. I know there’s a specific FR for this but I can’t find it.)
