## Description

DD Editor Colors is a lightweight Classic Editor / TinyMCE plugin for adding background
colors to selected text blocks.

It adds a single “Colors” dropdown to TinyMCE, supports applying and removing color
classes, keeps legacy `custom-style` content visually compatible, and avoids unsafe
DOM wrapping for complex selections.

This plugin does not add Gutenberg block editor controls.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `dalmatian-dream-editor-colors` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 3. Open a supported Classic Editor post screen and use the “Colors” toolbar dropdown.
