/mailnews/mailnews.js, line 121 -- pref("mail.citation_color", ""); // quoted color By default, whenever I change the browser text color, quoted text changes with it, since there is no value set for the citation color. If I change the quoted text color, there's no way to get back to "same as browser text" through the UI. I think it would make sense to either set a default citation color matching the default browser.display.foreground_color, or have a "same as other text" option. The pref window currently lies too, since the colorpicker appears grayish (same color as dialog box background) for me right now thanks to the blank color attribute, even though quoted text is black.

These same issues apply for all the color prefs with color-picker UI: the "HTML Messages" display colors: browser.display.background_color browser.display.foreground_color and the Composition | HTML Settings colors: msgcompose.background_color msgcompose.text_color viz these last two, xref bug 206219 comment 2.

Resummarizing, see TB bug 352869. I think the "no color" selection should use a pattern, maybe a crosshatch. The other issue is there's no way from the UI to pick "Use default color".
Severity: normal → minor
Summary: Quoted text color preference behavior is not good, pref window lies → Color picker display for "no color selected" is in fact grey (conflicts with typical default 'black' that gets used)

Are you sure that's correct? Isn't the default "nothing", rather than gray?

I'm sure that the color picker displays grey when no color is selected, which is what I thought the summary said. I'll make that a little clearer. Well, OK, on my system, it actually displays light-blue, which is the background color I use for dialogs. Better?

If you change the dialog's color using DOMI, I'd expect it to show that new color.

Dude, change it to whatever you want. Nobody's going to fix it anyway, you might as well make yourself feel better by wanking about word choice.
