I like light coral

Adore the colors we now have! Thank you for the hard work you put into them. I love that Dark Blue is readable now, however, it's shame we "lost" the color people loved to hate and hate to love 😅

I'd love to see a true orange color in the upcoming line up. We have 4/5 blues, 1 teal, 3 greens, 2.5 Purples, 1.5 Pinks (Light Purple could be either or).

In regards to Gold, and Pastel Gold my brain reads them as a yellows when I see them on there own. Compared to other colors, they are very much in the orange family. I'm still calling them yellows though


Here are my orange suggestions

Spoiler

Formatted for desktop!

Dusted Orange - #E17E3C         Pumpkin Orange - #FF7518          Burnt Orange - CC5500


Sunburst Orange - #FF8B2B           Orange - #FF6200                 Red Orange - #DD4300

If none of the oranges make it in, my vote is for either Violet or Champagne Pink! I think all the colors are amazing though and am looking forward to all of them.

Thank you tech team for all the hard work that you put into the server

how come we're adding a bunch of colors instead of implementing custom colors w/ hex codes?

not saying this in a jabby way, but rather purely curious. Is there some sort of limit on the amount of colours that can be added? is it like storage-based or something?
