Feature request: Start with a few predefined colors like Red, Green and Blue. It's easier to try, and latter people can personalize it. Perhaps a discrete palette with ¿16? options is better, with the advanced option to pick the color like now or select a color like #ff8040.

Yeah, the initial experience with no colors doesn’t look great. I can implement this when I have some free time, if you feel like doing it please feel free to open a PR. Thanks!

Sorry, too busy sending PR to fix bugs I made a few months ago :(

I think the 3 initial colors is easy to implement and will make your site more beginner friendly.

Simple and to the point. I like it.
