So I just looked and I'm now seeing 21 colors in my instance. See this update: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/What-s-New-in-Confluence-Cloud-October-2019-Edition/ba-p/1199197. They are a better palette as well.
Atlassian - should this ticket be closed?
The update you're referring to doesn't address table cell fill / highlight colours. The suggested colour palette should be configurable per instance, so that in the future, themes could be designed / implemented for a wiki instance as well and normal colour selections from the palette would also automatically update. And, not to speak for all people here, but I believe that we should be able to fully override the suggested palette and supply RGB values to the colour picker.
I wouldn't call this closed by a long shot.
How to get an actual, simple, proper red? The one you refer to as "red" is actually an orange. Thank you.
