Looks like the limit is up to ten custom colors.

Any way to remove the ones we decide we do not want to keep?

Seems a little clunky, I think you have to have ten set up before any would get "removed".

If you click on one of your custom colors (example #22ffcc) that's the selection, and it goes to the front of the third row. If you like that color, leave the hexadecimal color code in the settings as is.

If you have another custom color set up, you can click on that, and it becoms the selection and goes to the front of the third row.

If you change the color code in the settings, it will become one of your new custom colors.

Semi related, Imgflip updated the site 2019-05-17 how user specified colors are stored. Now 3,4,6 & 8 character hexadecimal colors codes work, previous to that date only 3, 4 or 6 character codes were supported.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

Basically what that means is transparency is also supported now for all the usual colors when you use 8 characters where the usual 6 character color code goes. Right now you have manually enter an 8 character color code, that might change if the Imgflip color picker is updated with a second slider or something like that.

The last two characters of an 8 character color code specifies 256 levels of transparency, 00 is fully transparent, ff is fully opaque.

I sometimes use an eight character yellow color code (with transparency) when I'm drawing on a meme, kind of like using a highlighter.

Example #eeee0077 or

#eeee0033

I LOVE that they did this! I always hated trying to find the exact shade that I like the most over again. This is very useful indeed.

as to my understanding the top two rows are the default colors (as used to be) - seems they can't be removed (although I badly want to customize my yellow to #FFEF00)

the bottom two rows are the 10 colors you customized lately (from last to next to last etc.)
so if you customize the color of your top-caption and want to use the same color for your bottom caption you don't have to copy&enter the color code or do the color-slide again but just click on the 1st sample color in the 3rd row (the latest!) and there you are.
works also great to try out different shades of color imho

I know hot it works in that respect, I was just curious on the other specifics. How long they save etc... It's extremely convenient and for the examples you mention. Thanks!

I figure that it is stored in your browser cookies.
I cleared my browser today and all was gone.
I like these temporary colors but instead of 10 temporary colors I'd rather have 5 temporary colors and 5 personal colors associated to your account that are fix

I have just a few custom colors I like to use. But it is nice to be able to just set them like this. You're idea is good. I guess we'll see if they decide to tweak this later.

Not sure how it's done. I personally don't like it when people do it but if you really want to know how I will try to dig up the info on how to do it.

I k now. I just thought it was funny you said that, because just a couple of days ago I saw a meme where someone actually did that!
