I find the default colors a bit too strong and I’d like to be able to use my own colors without having to go to the color picker and/or remembering which color I chose from the little swatches.
Also there seems to be a discrepancy between the text color presets listed in the format bar (black, red, green, blue, PURPLE) and the ones in the Find by formatting dialogue (black, red, green, blue, TIN). I’ve never used the Mac version so I’m not sure if that’s intended, but I doubt it. It seems like a mistake/bug to me.
Yes, please, to this. The user should be able to customize the color blends for pink, orange, yellow, blue and green highlighting, and the darker text colors. The 120-color palette was an improvement, but better to remember our preferred handful.

Also I forgot, but it’s somewhat related to this. I can’t have a dark theme because there’s options lacking for the text/background colors of comments/annotations, etc in the options. If I try to make a dark theme I can’t read the text on those elements well. That combined with the really neon highlight colors makes it unusable for me. I’m working on the darkest light gray possible for the moment, but I really wish I could use a dark theme because that’s one of the reasons I’ve switched to scrivener.
I didn’t know the palette/swatches were a recent update, but they’re almost impossible to use (I have to count the squares to the right shade) and note down the color combination in the color picker otherwise I can’t search by them. …so ultimately useless.
Just in general the color options need a bit of work.
