Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Color labels are not intuitive when searching for the keyword “background”, leading users to guess and check.
4 participants were confused about which of the background colors were changing. They were expecting the banner color to change, but the site background changed.

webchickHm. This would break translations. I don't think we can commit it to D7. :(
