Description

Not a crucial feature, but it would be welcome if a hex color picker could be used to create custom solid colors and or gradients for use in the Dashboard

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the dashboard codebase for existing UI components, especially any color related settings. Look for how other settings are implemented to add a hex color picker. Use a standard color input or integrate a library.
