3 years ago @madalingorbanescu Thanks for bringing this problem to the surface!
The color pickers controls are something that I had in mind in the last few weeks but couldn't find a time to dig deeper. I don't think descriptions could be of much help as the colors apply dynamically to elements and you can alter their coverage using the "Coloration Level" from the Customize tab.
Because you propose a solution before having defined the problem, I suggest taking a step back and find out the main task that the user wants to achieve within the Colors section from the Style Manager system, and what difficulties he might have in this process. After we have the problem defined, we will see how we can improve the process and make it easier for the user.
So, what do you think is the primary job/task that a user wants to perform with the Color picker controls? (eg. Is it that he wants to apply the branding colors and don't know how? Is it that he changes colors randomly and mix up the system by adding a dark color in a light color location? Is it that he doesn't know which elements a specific color applies to? etc.)
Let's keep this issue open, reframe it towards a job-to-be-done style and, if there are any major problems, I'm sure we will figure it out a solution.
While testing Rosa2 with the latest version of Nova Blocks and Customify and navigating through Theme Options, the Colors section got my attention.
I know that we do not encourage users to use those options, but some short descriptions of every color would be really helpful. I am thinking about a description that will tell the user where we will use that specific color.
Without a description, the user will just change color and try to find by himself where this color is being used.
What do you think @georgeolaru?
