🎨 Add a Color-type custom field

Relevant but different to Custom hex colors which is requesting for additional colours throughout Asana objects (project/portfolio icons) and surfaces (dropdown field options, tags etc).

The request here is for a new ‘Color-type’ custom field which could display a coloured box (perhaps full-cell fill?) and display in contrasting black/white text the actual colour code, formatted in RGB, CMYK, HEX, HSL etc. Clicking into this field, I would imagine a modal similar to a Photoshop colour picker (with a “web-safe colours only” checkbox?).

Back in the day as an Architect, I craved such a field that would complement my Asana lists / databases of paints, material finishes & fixtures. I can imagine others using such a field for web and graphic design, print, manufacturing and many other applications where colour is an important parameter, or data point.

I’m wondering if such a ‘Color’ field would be of interest to others?
(we can then argue which side of the pond spells ‘colour’ correctly :sweat_smile: )

Here’s a mockup of what I imagine would happen when you click into the field, either type the colour code or select one to create a colour code:

And an idea for the field editor modal, basically just select your format:

This could be really helpful, especially if it could also support PMS format - not necessarily in exact color pickers, but being able to show the PMS numbers in that space. Right now, we use a multi-select field and loosely attribute the available color options to each line item, but the colors are sometimes very far off and it would be nice if we could choose colors that are more similar to the intended result.
