Why were custom RGB/Hex card colors removed from Jira Software boards?

I was hoping to use a "true yellow" as a card color for a custom JQL query (different from the one below) on a new Jira Software board; however, this appears to be no longer possible.

Was this a feature that was intentionally removed or is there a global system setting for this?

Hi @Casey Meyer,

I can't help you with the why part of your question, but it seems to be a change implemented early in January. From the Jan 8 to 15 JSW release notes:

Hi @Casey Meyer 

Adding to Walter's answer...

There is already a suggestion to improve color selection after that change.  You may vote for / watch it to see progress: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-26300

Kind regards,
Bill
