: A way that works on both editions of Memento is to use a JavaScript field. Don't fear, as the script is the most trivial of trivial things, JavaScript-wise, though you do need to know what 6-character codes define what colors (though you really should learn that anyway). | |||
: See a detailed explanation of color codes at [[About:Color codes]]. | |||
: For the color codes, look at '''''https://htmlcolorcodes.com/'''''. Scroll down liberally to get to a section suited to your interest. | |||
: For a script, all you do is put down the color code in double-quotes. So, Medium Gray is '''"#808080"'''. Just look them up. | |||
