But you are not limited to just these colors.
1.You can add new colors to this list with the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) combination of your choice. You can do that both in the settings for a tenant e.g. to add a special company color and you can create any combination when you refer to a color in e.g. the container elements, lines, tables and texts.
