Calendar Category / Color inconsistent

Please see my Test App “Calendar Color” on my Portfolio.
I use 3 views to demonstrate how to control the calendar colors.
In the Calendar’s view, the Category controls the colors.

Color

  • Here I use the column type “Color”.
  • In the Editor I can only add these 8 colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, White, Black
  • These are the colors mentioned here under “Color”.
  • But in my sheet, I have 2 additional colors: Cyan and Pink
  • This goes in line with the colors we have in format rules

  • The calendar view would respect all 10 colors

Request

Please add Cyan and Pink to the Color column type.

Enum

  • Here I use the column type “Enum”.
  • In the Editor I can add all 10 colors.
  • But the calendar view respects only 7 colors: Red, Orange, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Pink
  • 3 Colors are missing: Yellow, White, Black

Request

Please bring the color and the enum column type in one line.

Ref

  • Here I use a Ref Table.
  • The outcome is the same as with Enum.

Escalated.

Thanks to the AppSheet Team, everything is fixed.
Beside this one:

Yes, I would like if Cyan, Pink, and Grey were in the allowed colours too.  Right now the app won't even load with those in the list.  I get a "Column Name 'Color' in Schema 'TaskRecord_DataSheet_Schema' of Column Type 'Color' contains illegal Enum value 'Pink'" error in the editor.
