I understand that, but is it possible to keep only unique colors in the Custom Color palette, and when user chooses the exact same color to be in the Custom Color palette it would return a pop up like "Color already in Custom Color palette". It would be better if the color strings which IDLE receives, are checked if present already in Custom Colors, if not it then passes it to tkinter and tk. On Thu, 23 Sept 2021 at 21:08, Terry J.
