It is a very interesting question. What color should overwrite other color?
There are only two options. 1) Custom color will overwrite all colors set automatically by MLO. 2) Automatic colors will overwrite all colors set manually. I selected option 1, because decided that this is the purpose of the custom color coding. User should be able to set any color for a task overwriting the color MLO decided to use. If I selected option 2 then users will not be able to set colors for projects at all since they already painted by MLO. However I understand the issue. You want to paint a branch of tasks with custom colors but only if they are not painted automatically already. It might be additional option for "Subtasks inherit custom formatting" to set if this inheritance should overwrite automatic colors or not. So this option will work only for inherited colors and does not work for the colors set directly to the task. Hm.... looks complicated from the first view. Thoughts? Andrey.
