Any way you choose, there are pros and cons | |
| Aug 15, 2017 at 11:53 | comment | added | user3915135 | Thanks for the feedback, and thanks to zach as well! I understand how giving the end users this much reign on their color selection allows for some pretty terrible choices. The counter to that though is that a palette is pretty restrictive on their options. We can (and have) devised palettes that would look great on our site. But the true goal of this customizability is for users to be able to choose colors that match their branding. One other idea we had was to allow them to choose their highlight color, and automatically generate a background color based on their selection. | |
