As the title says, an input field would be nice so we can type out any colours.
My use case: I define all my colors in the CSS and they change depending on the color-scheme (light/dark). So, I want to use variables instead of picking a colour from the selector.
Some other use-cases:
Getting colours from an external colour picker.
Using catapuccin theme (which is popular).
Non-sRGB colours (using oklch()
).

This is already available on desktop anki
Ah, so I can type out the colours in desktop? (It’s a pain to use the PC because I’m mostly using Android.)

Qt’s webview opens up a colour picker which i’m pretty sure is identical to the one in chrome/edge (nope, firefox. which is odd)
Not sure how consistent it is in android webviews (since they can be changed?), but on my browser it’s a palette with an HSV selector

an HSV selector
Same here. Can Anki not include an input field natively?

It already does use the webview’s native colour picker. If you want ankidroid to provide a custom window you’d have to ask them
