Excellent for quickly differentiating the different states of the site (production, experimental and under development)!

My misconception, probably, but I thought this was for creating my own color scheme. Just adding a few additional presets, I don’t see the point, sorry. The only reason for me to change the color scheme would be to set it to the website brand colors. So if there were a thousand additional presets, there would still hardly be one that matches any of my clients colors …

Far simpler and cleaner than many “admin theme” plugins out there. Gorgeous, thank you!

This is a future request for the possibility of adding a color picker tool, to allow admin users to create their own 5 color combination schemes. Great plugin, but would love to brand the admin with colors I want to use. Is this possible?
