Remove Custom Colors in Panel appearance settings

Hi guys

I have made a few custom colors for my panel background in panel preferences-appearance-background. Is there a way to remove the extra custom colors that I have made from these settings?

Re: Remove Custom Colors in Panel appearance settings

It looks like gtk stores those in the dconf database - specifically at org.gtk.Settings.ColorChooser in the "custom-colors" field.

gsettings get org.gtk.Settings.ColorChooser custom-colors

If you use dconf-editor, you can edit those values in-line.

Thanks. I really struggled finding these settings. Just in case anyone else meets this problem. The path to the fix is below.

In the GTK editor...

org → gtk → settings → color-chooser and set the custom-colors value to [ ]

If you just want to delete the complete set of existing custom colors, you can:

gsettings reset org.gtk.Settings.ColorChooser custom-colors
