Having, say, a dozen possible values instead of the 256^3 values of hex would make it much easier to build some stuff around highlight color automation.

Optionally: settings to define which colours to recognize/use which can also be something customised on most PDF viewers.

Annotations now have a colorCategory property that's one of:

Black
White
Gray
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Cyan
Blue
Purple
Magenta

It uses the same approach as zotfile. Does this work for your use case?

yeah, I think that should work. 🚀
