custom colors

User-selected color palette

Custom colors are user-defined colors rather than preset options, typically created by specifying exact values for hue, saturation, brightness, or RGB components.

The term appears in software interfaces where standard palettes prove insufficient: I set up custom colors for our brand guidelines.

Custom colors ensure precise color matching across documents or designs.
