Hi,

Sorry for being so thick, but I really don't understand what values I'm to put in the select list as the JIRA Admin for colors to show up. I tried some hex values, html, but nothing worked. I want the colors (primary), red, green, yellow as the selections.

The documentation and screen shots, don't really explain how to do this?

Thanks...Susan

From memory, it should accept hex values, but I used to use it with plain, unencoded English colour names - Red, Green, Yellow, Black, Gray etc

I've found that some but not all hex codes work...not sure if there's a pattern I'm not recognizing as I'm pretty ignorant to this stuff, but the mechanism works.
