Custom Colors for Sheets

This needs an update!

very frustrating right @A.J. ? This seems to be a trend in most of the forums since March with rediculous delays on responding to anyones requests, questions, issues/concerns, etc.. that when their staff post those redundant responses "Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea! Please submit this as a Product Feedback", i am no longer finding credibility or faith that anything we request in these forums will ever get answered by them.

Lately i have solely relied on other community members that are always here helping us with formulas or past experiences, and completely gave up waiting for the team to answer us back. There are times i have found my answers in other sites (reddit, youtube, linkedin, etc..), including recent responses to similar questions by the Smartsheets staff.

I dont know what their day to day activities are or why it takes so long to respond back, but just ignoring us for months on end, makes most of us less likely to trust or value anything they say 😕 moving forward. I am so sad 😔 to even say all that, but its getting worse. So hopefully someone who monitors these forums, will read responses like ours complaining about lack of responses from the company we are paying a hefty amount on a service we are not getting starts to address these issues soon, or their credibility as a program in general will start to lose its value and clients.😒

PLEASE allow custom colors for cell fill based on Hex codes. We're running out of colors.

Custom Colors are not just about having more choices. Nearly all "standard" color palettes are far too saturated and bold to be easy on the eyes when used to fill cells in a spreadsheet. Even the lightest options in most applications (which is far better than what is available in SmartSheets) can increase eye fatigue when you are working with spreadsheets for several hours every day.
PLEASE GIVE US A DECENT COLOR PICKER!

I need to color code every project (helps with my ADHD) but I run out of colors fast and I can't use the dark ones because the font is in black (don't want to turn it white). Can you please consider expanding the options for lighter colors?

Thank you!

I would love the capability to customize available colors within the Smartsheet sheet itself - including custom colors for background and text. This would allow the branding to align more closely with my needs.
