How do I add other color option to cell background?

[Tina-Louise Allaire]

Hello,

I noticed that the new cloud confluence only has minimal options for cell background colors, not like the legacy which provided a nice range. 

Is there a way to add more color options?

Including white there's 21 options, I'd be curious the use case for more colors?

Certainly understand a desire for more control/etc, but practically I've never needed more than 3-4.

In many cases I also prefer limited options... My focus in Confluence is sharing info, and I personally find a large number of colors, bullet point styles, etc can overwhelm me.

Hi Tina-Louise,

No custom hex colors natively, Confluence Cloud's table cell background is limited to a fixed set of preset colors, you can't enter your own or pick from a wider range.

There's an open feature request for this on Atlassian's tracker if you want to vote or watch it, though it's been open a while with no committed fix.

If you need custom colors now, "Inline Table Editing for Confluence" (Actonic) is a Marketplace app that adds an Excel-like table experience, including custom hex color backgrounds, sorting, filtering, and formulas. Probably your best bet if this is a regular need rather than a one-off.
