I can't for the life of me figure out how to add colors for my client to choose from for cards when adding a new event.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to add preset colors for my client to choose from in that Colors panel when creating new events. I searched documentation and couldn't find anything.

  Hello,
  
  Preset Colors is the default WordPress functionality (Gutenberg’s). So please take a look at this guide on how to change them:

  Hi Artem, EventOn used to have the ability to add custom colors so you can choose one for the background of an event tile. I have attached a screen cap of the panel where you used to be able to add colors. You used to be able to do this through the EventOn plugin. Are you saying this ability was removed and now you have to add them via the functions php file? This doesn’t make any sense to me. Am I misunderstanding something?

  It is still available:
  
  But in order to add a preset set colors, you need to add them through the code.

  Ok, thank you. You used to be able to add those without code. You could save EventOn preset colors inside wordpress. I have a few sites running EventOn and have never had to add them via code or adding snippets to functions.php.

  You could save EventOn preset colors inside wordpress.
  
  How it was possible before? Could you tell us more?
  
  I just tried to set a new color and it got saved to “OR Select from other colors“:
  
  It’s not possible on your website?

  Ah, I see. After you choose the color in the main picker and save the event, it shows up in the color choices. I had to reload the page to see it show up, which is why I wasn’t seeing anything happening. User error on my end. Thank you for your assistance.
