Colors: Ability to use Hex colors and expressions all over the Editor

[Fabian_Weller]

We can use Hex colors in Format Rules.

I would like to be able to use Hex colors also in:

• Column type “Color” [actually we are limited to these colors: “blue”, “green”, “orange”, “purple”, “red”, “yellow”, “black”, “white” (which is light gray)]
• With this we could use it also for Calendar
• Brand - Color theme

Also I would like to use Expressions in the every Color setting.

This would give us the possibility, to use a color code for every user.
Or the User could set his own color via the UserSettings.

Is there any progress on this?

I need to use the HEX color code for the Calendar and Brand. The 8 basic colors are very limited and affect the UI/UX appearance.

Hex colors are not supported in calendar view AFAIK.

In Brand you can click on "Custom" to use a Hex color.

This would be really handy. I'm trying to build a map with areas where every area should get another color. We are talking about 39 areas. Would be great if we could use expressions to define the color as HEX, based on the area.
