When I write a post here and select text then click the font-color button, a blank grey dialog comes up. No colors are shown. Mousing over the dialog changes each grey square to a white one, but still no colors are shown.
Anyone else having trouble with font colors here? (Picking that color was random. The color change works, but there is no way to see what the chosen color will be.)
BTW, why no source view in this forum?
That one’s been… I hesitate to say ‘noted’. 
Invisible colours in drop-down menu - openSUSE Forums
What I do - I guess what most people do - is click the ‘A’ itself, then change the word ‘black’ to whatever you’re after. Or indeed just write the tags yourself…

You are right about the colours, however on the right there is a a/A button which switches from rich html editor to normal one and back.
Thank you. That’s what I was looking for. It works
