Well, there was a user here that literally said he likes having every marker be a different color:
This isn’t overthinking the issue, actually. It’s really about what the main point of putting the Color option in the context menu was about which was to get to the full color menu faster than going through the Edit menu and having to hit Okay twice to get back to the timeline. Picking from recent colors is actually an addition that came from the discussion in the above user’s thread. It can work nicely but quickness and having the least amount of movement to change a marker’s color needs to be kept in mind.
I also suggested limiting the recently used color list to a number like 4 because if the list gets so long that the user needs to start scrolling then at that point they might as well be at the full color menu but then to get there they need to click on “Other” which has been buried.
Is it possible to not have the “Other” option be lowered down and stay on the same line as “Color” while the recently used colors just go on top of it?
