Could we get more/custom color code options?

PostSun Nov 28, 2021 3:25 am

Could we please get more/custom color options for Clips, Tracks etc?

I'm a very visual individual and I always find there's never enough bold or varied color options to really get a color code going on my larger projects like these a lot of browns and greys.

Would love some light faded cyan greens, Blues, Reds etc
and be great for custom options and as many as we want but just more designated would be fine.

I feel like this would universally be seen as a useful feature.

Yeah. I don't get why we can't just choose any RGB value. Have 16 defaults, but also a custom option - plus the ability to save a few new custom presets.

Fusion up to version 9 allowed any RGB value to be used for node colours. Then when the UI was changed for v16, they limited it to only 16 named colours. A notable step backwards.

I find the color choices dull and very unappealing.
This is the Pro Tools color palette not only with bright colors, but control of brightness and saturation as well.

Exactly this, Having a wider range of colors but also muted and less saturated variations!
I'm sure Fairlight users must have a massive use for more colors!

Let's have a return to the glory days, when press releases for new versions included text like "...with over 300 new features and improvements that professional editors and colorists have asked for."

+1 from me as well. Heck, we get more colour options for text on this forum than we have inside of Resolve/Fusion.

Yes please!

Also the 'add to custom colours' option doesn't actually save any information after Resolve is closed. So I have to save a custom colour every time.

And then if one adds more colours to the palette, all it does is replaces the top left corner swatch, rendering the other 7 swatches superfluous haha
