I suggest that you add a yellow colour to the theme colours because me and I bet a lot of people work best when in the right workspace and I would be in paradise if just this little coloraturas was added please (I know im making it sound like a big deal its just I think a lot of people want this too)

we desperately need buabces among the colour choices. Right now, all available colour are screaming for attention. What's the point of that?

I'm going to add to this -- in 3.0 there is a limited number of colors for List and Folder Colors. We should have the option to pick from unlimited Hex colors as we do in Statuses.
1) It creates additional Color Coding, which is extremely important for creating systems and better organization (and something our team relied on). Things shouldn't be limited to the same shades of green or pink.
2) Using a limited number of colors creates confusion when viewing Gantt charts
3) Allowing color customization creates a better experience for visually impaired people (or anyone) who would like brighter, more vivid colors when using DARK Mode and/or to create more contrast.
4) Can better set priorities (For example, pure black can be used for folders that are dedicated to information, while GRAY can be used to identify folders related to more administrative or repetitive tasks.
**** We're really disappointed with this shift to limited colors. One of the biggest reasons we chose ClickUp was the ability to customize it to our specific needs -- especially color.

Dean Phillips What exactly is being planned here? Will we have access to unlimited hex colors? And for what items?

Greg McKibben We'll be updating the colors to be more accessibility-friendly and refreshing our color palette across the board.
While offering unlimited HEX codes isn't in our current plans, we're always open to exploring new ways to enhance things.
What is your use case for needing more colours across the app and what features are you needing them for?

Dean Phillips Ideally, I'd like unlimited choices for space colors and priority flags. I'd also like the ability to assign avatar colors of my choice to myself, members, and guests.

Dean Phillips I second what Greg said. Additionally, if/when a space is white labeled color choice to match the branding and/or better color code and provide contrast is key. The move to limited colors in places like the space/folder menu feels like a set back, not a step forward.
Status colors allow for unlimited HEX choices, so do most tags etc. Why not open that up in more places as 2.0 had - or give users the choice in settings to use "theme" colors vs "custom" colors. etc.
