HTML text color, background color formatting
Color formatting UI is m̶i̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ hard to find
Hi! Geary offers a few rich-text formatting options such as bold, overstrike, font size and indents, the classic stuff.
But there's no UI to set (or reset) font colors and background colors.
I do understand that colors in "rich text" is a feature with huge potential for misuse and overuse (and it will be misused by people regardless, as any other WYSIWYG formatting option) — but not offering any UI for it reinforces a perception of "underdevelopedness" of the mail client.
To much surprise, I found no reports about this on the issue tracker — so here you have it.
Many thanks for your Open Source work!
Edit
It took me a while to find, but it's there:
So you can in fact change text color in Geary; no possibility to change background color though. And the option is somewhat hard to find.
