    Great news!

    The new color palette for fillable fields is now available to everybody.

    While this does not allow you to pick colors for recipients, we've chosen eight distinct colors that will be assigned to the recipients automatically, depending on their order. These distinct colors will fix the issue of two recipients having similar colored fillable fields. We've carefully selected these new colors to not only pass the contrast checker, but also to make sure that they are easily distinguishable for individuals with color blindness.

    For use cases that require you to pick colors for branding, customization or any reason other than distinguishability, please upvote this idea: Ability to pick/change colors of fillable fields.

    This should be a no-brainer. The only way I can imagine 2 signers get assigned the same color: PandaDoc must be picking colors at random for each document.

    Either:
    (a) drop the randomness and make it so that signer 1 is always red, 2 is blue, 3 is dark yellow, 4 is green, etc. or:
    (b) install some code so that each time the "random color picker" runs, it checks to see if the color is already in use, and if so, it runs again until each signer has their own unique color.

    It's not rocket science. It's actually borderline shameful that this request is now rounding the corner of 3 years old and it hasn't been implemented yet.
