Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

I could repro this - it seems like a behavior of the color picker of the browser (I am using Chrome) (<input type='color'>). In fact, the same exact picker shows up on color picker examples elsewhere, with the same behavior of not letting copy happen. I'm guessing this may be by design?

One could consider to use a custom color picker to have more control, but not sure if this is worth it. Feel free to add to this :)

Hmmm, to be honest I've never seen that color picker anywhere else, but maybe it's just not used very often by websites

So I guess this might be part of Electron or something then? In that case a custom picker would probably be one of the only feasible options. Another option would be adding some other way of re-using the color of another project / label. Because (at least for me) that's what I actually wanted to copy paste (So basically I like to categorize projects using their color and that's why this would be useful for me)

So yeah, I'm not quite sure what would be the best solution here. The issue is definitely more difficult than I expected

Try opening this website with Chrome, it contains example <input type="color"> elements. They should behave the same. So I don't think it's something Electron specific, probably more browser-engine specific.

Yes, apparently a common solution involves custom pickers.
