AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0

Lets you pick any custom background color for website editor snippets, not just the preset colors. A "Custom Color" section with a plus button opens a color dialog and remembers your recent choices.

This module adds a custom color option to the website editor's color picker, so you are no longer limited to the predefined palette when setting a background color on a snippet.

Where it appears: - Inside the website editor, in the color picker used for snippets, a new "Custom Color" section is added. - That section shows a plus icon; clicking it opens a color selection dialog.

What it does: - When you open the dialog, it starts from the background color currently applied to the element you are editing. - After you save a color, a small button with that color is added to the "Custom Color" section, so recent choices stay available for reuse. - The newly saved color is applied immediately to the element being edited.

Scope: - It only extends the existing web editor color picker behaviour; it does not add new menus, models, reports, or automated business rules. - It works together with the website editor and its snippet options, and is loaded as part of the editor's common assets.

Because the module only changes the editor interface, it does not affect sales, inventory, accounting, or any other business data.
