Tab Groups Customization - More Colors & Custom Colors

[howiejc]

Tab Groups are great but would be awesome if we could use:

• Custom Colors
  • This would help immensely for colorblind or improved contrast, compensation for lighting/display issues, etc.
  • Currently only 5 or 6 of the 9 colors are "functionally usable" for some due to colorblindness, which is quite limiting in many cases.
  • Customization could be done in settings or a pop up menu, etc. for RGB triplet decimal & hex values.

• More than 9 colors
  • To solve the space issue, could use something like an overflow/drop-down/menu button that leads to a list/grid of the additional colors (with scroll bars if there are too many for even that area).

Thanks!

It looks like these are the same colors as in Edge. Terrible for colorblind people (like me), but pretty bad for normal people as well, I suspect.

The question is, are these system colors? And if so, might we able to change the colors on the OS level? If not, and Firefox just copied the colors from Edge: BAD fox, bad!

I fully support this as I am actually having an issue with not having enough colours. An additional thing I'd like is for us to be able to customize the text colour as well. I have some groups that basically break down into "review" and "reviewed" and would like them to have the same background colour and different text colour for further "at a glance" distinction.

Custom colors would be appreciated. But not changing to a completely different color when expanding the group is the bare minimum. The worst offenders are:

• red (so saturated it looks like a warning sign) -> pastel orange
• orange (dirty) -> yellow

I also noticed that the colors for multi-account containers are completely different.

Visually, the first set is much more appealing to me. Better saturation and lighter (darker colors reduce the perceived separation between colors). I still have some problems with the first set (moderately color-blind), but that's probably hard to avoid.

You could probably calculate the average difference between the colors in both sets, but I don't know how.
