diese Add-on ist äußerst hilfreich, wenn man Text, insbesondere zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten, verschiedenfarbig markieren möchte. Super!

This add-on is extremely helpful if you want to highlight text in different colours, especially at different times. Great!

Hello. This module is really very useful to me. However, it doesn't work any more. I have Thunderbird 91.3.2 and IOS Mojave. For example, I write in default color Blue. I select one word I want to put in Green : I can change it with « Previous color » window. Once done, if I select an other word to change its color in red for example, I can't access any more to the various colors window, it is all blank, I don't see anything. I can choose something, but without knowing what I am choosing because it is all white (I can't see the colors). It works only once ! Thank you very much for your help on this point.

It was not working for me at all. I read the post from SadFirefoxUser and looked at my settings—I had "Never" selected. I changed it to "only with high contrast themes" and so far, that seems to work.

I have now confirmed the add-on does work for TB 78.5.1 (32-bit), however, you have to make sure that under "Tools\Options\General\Language & Appearance\Fonts & Colors\Colors\Override the colors specified by the content with my selections" you have selected "Never" or "Only with high contrast themes". If you select "Always" it breaks the app.
This app makes it easy to instantly select previously selected colors, saving several clicks and time from doing it the traditional way. Thumbs up!!
Yes, with this setting set to "Always" it seems like TB takes full control over the colors and it's impossible to change the font color even via the standard "Choose color for text" dialog. And it also ruins the popup.
I've added your note to the add-on's description. Thanks for finding this issue.

this works great but I would love to see a single button in the top menubar of the compose text window. Last colour just had an icon you select and it would pick up a colour that you always used for the reply. The way it is set up now it just uses an extra mouse click which slows you down marginally.
okay, I have been using this add-on for about a week and have an additional comment on this is why I have come back to edit my review which still remains as five stars.
I often reply to a text and answer questions throughout the text just by using a different text colour so when someone sends me an email I would just break it up with red text and answer the questions as they have written them. Always the text arrives in black and I will reply in red so I only have one colour option in the selection palette. To speed up the reply and avoid an extra mouse click each time I would like to make the following suggestion....
If you only have one colour that you use in your replies then it would be best if this were selected by just clicking the three pencil icon logo itself just once to bring up your colour automatically. At the moment I have to do press the three pencil icon logo and then select red (which is the only option) if I was using multiple colours then I would be happy for the multiple mouse clicks but when you only have one colour that you are using it shouldn't require multiple mouse clicks and it should just revert to your standard colour just by clicking the three pencil icon logo. This would speed up the replies marginally and avoid the requirement for double mouse clicks. The three pencil logo can stay where it is in the reply window, it works well where it is located and requires less mouse movement than the previous add-on I was using which was in the top of the menubar (last colour) I hope you consider these suggestions for what is a very valuable and much used feature

Nice work addressing something that's regressed in recent versions of Thunderbird.
It would be great if the toolbar control could work to "select last" or click dropdown to select from list - in the manner that most word processors do for example.
Or even a second button for "Favorite/Pinned Color" - as most of the time I'm sticking with a single emphasis color when I feel I need it.
