HTML color names for labels, etc.

In my sitemap I’m using different colors for the labels. The colors are somehow set by the application as it should be near by the standards. In my case I need a yellow, which is hardly readable. So I replace yellow by gold which this statement: labelcolor=["gold"] In the BasicUI in the webbrowser this works fine as the HTML color names are supported. I would like to have the HTML color names also supported within the Android app. Thanks!

I’m using app version 2.9.0 on Android 9.

I think we can find a good compromise by extending the current supported color list with “common” color names from the html color names list: https://htmlcolor-codes.com/color-names IMO adding “gold” and “pink” is enough.

In iOS app the will change the behavior. And as you already raised the topic, an alignment between the different UIs is important.

The (linked) docs already cover this sufficiently, I think: the table in the docs is what is guaranteed to work, besides that all bets are off. The problem I have with supporting all (~150!) HTML color names is that in order to support them properly, we’d need to test all of them with light & dark modes and adjust them accordingly, which is a time-consuming effort for little gain, as the HTML names tend to get a bit obscure once one gets into the details … or do you have an immediate understanding of the colors behind gainsboro, mistyrose or papayawhip?
