Json colors other than the .mscolors

Hi. I can't figure out how to assign different colors in JSON. I can do all the .ms stuff...but their colors are horrible!! How do I use RGBA or HEX or whatever? I don't really understand json. ...

BigBeuferd Depending on how/where you're trying to apply the color, you would need to add a "style" object after you declare an element in JSON.

Depending on what element you're applying the "style" object to, you can add in a "background-color" and/or "color" attribute to change the font/background colors. You can use RGB or HEX values for either of those attributes.

"style": {
"background-color": "#f4f4f4"
}

One thing to watch out for is your commas; if you miss a comma, your JSON will be invalid. If you use https://code.visualstudio.com/, it validates as you go.

This article does a nice job of breaking down JSON structure for view formatting.
