List of colors for Role

Can you add other colors without altering the Asciidoctor stylesheet?

I'd like to make an icon Orange colored.

Could you assign a color to a roll with HTML hex or rgb, like this?

icon:folder[role=#FFA500] Orange


I think this is the list of current colors. Have I missed any?

icon:folder[role=Aqua] Aqua
icon:folder[role=Black] Black
icon:folder[role=Blue] Blue
icon:folder[role=Fuchsia] Fuchsia
icon:folder[role=Gray] Gray
icon:folder[role=Green] Green
icon:folder[role=Lime] Lime
icon:folder[role=Maroon] Maroon
icon:folder[role=Navy] Navy
icon:folder[role=Olive] Olive
icon:folder[role=Purple] Purple
icon:folder[role=Red] Red
icon:folder[role=Silver] Silver
icon:folder[role=Teal] Teal
icon:folder[role=White] White
icon:folder[role=Yellow] Yellow

Ted,

You can add other colors using docinfo. (http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#docinfo-file).

> Could you assign a color to a roll with HTML hex or rgb?

This is not supported, but for good reason. I think it breaks an important abstraction that roles provide.

> I think this is the list of current colors.

I'm seriously considering (and have been for some time) removing the built-in colors from the default stylesheet. They aren't very semantic and they don't really blend well with the theme. But fear not, I'm not talking about eliminating colors in general. We'd just switch to meaningful names, like bootstrap does:

* primary

* secondary †

* success

* info

* warning

* danger (or maybe important)

* caution †

* highlight †

* alert †

† not in bootstrap

(and the bg equivalents).

Of course, you can add your own roles via docinfo, so you aren't limited to these. These are just conveniences.

Cheers,

-Dan

Dan, using the docinfo file solves my problem. I now have orange!  Thank you.

I created a demo on GitHub so others could figure out how the docinfo file is included.

I also threw together a color scheme based on the heading color in the asciidoctor.css.

This approach makes sense to me too, but would it be possible to add some default "schemas"? I'm thinking for instance adding additional color combinations for color-brind people.

To me, that is just a different theme. If we agree on semantic color names, we open up the door for that to happen, esp for color-blind people since the roles are about the function and not the actual appearance. So this is even more of a reason to have semantic color names and not actual color names. Color is not universal (blue to one person is gold to another).
