The discussion Coloring for categories started with Matthias_Schuster wanting to disable category colors, as they dislike the mixed color effect with subcategories. They also found an issue with the ‘optional’ color field not working as expected. JammyDodger suggested that custom code may be required to achieve the desired effect and provided a link to a relevant post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-make-the-category-icon-color-single-color/302560/2. Additionally, JammyDodger recommended reporting the ‘optional’ color field issue in a separate ux topic.
I wanted to disable the category color, since I really dislike how it mixes with the color of the sub category and if I could disable that separately, that would be awesome.
I want only the color of the subcategory shown, and not in a mixed style with the parent color.
Still, I found another issue as i was trying to disable the parent color altogether:
It doesn’t work, despite the button clearly saying “optional”
