Description Ming Hua 2020-11-22 23:30:56 UTC
With Dante's recent work on Math [1], now its "color" attribute support all HTML/CSS color names, as well as RGB/hexdecimal codes.

The UI also changed, old "cyan/magenta" color names are changed to "aqua/fuchsia" in UI ("cyan/magenta" are still supported as commands).  Also a selected few newly supported color names are added to UI, as well as UI for RGB/RGBA/hex codes.  See [2] for a screenshot.

The documentation for this feature, unfortunately, are out of date now.  The help page [3] says "Then enter the color name (black, white, cyan, magenta, red, blue, green, or yellow)".  And while the Math Guide book [4] is up-to-date for 7.0 UI, it still needs update for version 7.1, and maybe needs mention of the available colors not presented by UI as well.

Please remember that RGBA will be displayed as RGB. The renderer needs some tweaks for it to work. That is why is hidden in UI. It has been unlocked to avoid unwanted syntax errors.
