All you are showing me is the set colors. I want to add my own.

I lost that as well…… * Thread Starter [funkiplanet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funkiplanet/) * (@funkiplanet) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817353) * I didn’t, but I lost a lot of buttons from TinyMCE – however – they are there if I mouse over them, I just can’t see them. Do you have this? * [theblondemovement](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theblondemovement/) * (@theblondemovement) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817367) * No, I don’t see anything that doesn’t appear until I mouse over it. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817368) * Is this an issue in Chrome specifically? * [theblondemovement](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theblondemovement/) * (@theblondemovement) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817369) * I don’t think so. I just reopened WP in Explorer and same issues (missing all my old colors, missing font size dropdown box). * Thread Starter [funkiplanet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funkiplanet/) * (@funkiplanet) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817370) * No Andrew – it’s also an issue in Safari. * [theblondemovement](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theblondemovement/) * (@theblondemovement) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817371) * I also just did a google search on this to see if I could find any solutions – sadly, no – but I did see many other complaints on other forums about the loss of the color picker…..I really hope WP will fix this soon. Those dozen colors are far from sufficient. * Thread Starter [funkiplanet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/funkiplanet/) * (@funkiplanet) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817373) * I agree theblondemovement – we need our color picker back! I suppose we could do it with HTML from the text editor, but that seems so 1994, doesn’t it? We used to do that in computer class. * [bemdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bemdesign/) * (@bemdesign) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-colors/#post-4817374) * See [http://alisothegeek.com/2011/05/tinymce-styles-dropdown-WordPress-visual-editor/](http://alisothegeek.com/2011/05/tinymce-styles-dropdown-WordPress-visual-editor/) for how to customize the WordPress tinyMCE editor to use your own custom styles and code.
