According to the Go to the r/KeePass subreddit, I am not the only one with this issue

You need to show the color column in the list. It's not used on the whole row.

Mmmmmmhhhh and someone considered that to be a "feature"?

Now it does consume more screen width. And the column is tiny to recognize subtle differences in colors (especially when you are partially color blind like me).

The entry still calls this color "background colour" when now it's just some random column colour.

And I'll have to manually modify dozens of entries which have a dark "_background colour" since I had set them with a light "foreground colour" (which it still is the _foreground colour of the entry text in the list, so much for consistency).

I'd still consider this a bug rather than a feature.

Thanx for an otherwise excellent product.

If you are partially color blind why are you using color to discriminate information??? Plus you are in control of the color choices.

Good point though, we need to do some UI cleanup and change the name of "Background Color". Foreground Color should be removed as a feature.
