Does anyone know the hex or rgb of the three new highlighting colours for PDF reader in Zotero?

Hi everyone, I hope you are well.

I was wondering if anyone knows the rgb or the hex code of the three new highlighting colours in the Zotero pdf reader (orange, magenta, grey). It would be super helpful to know this for integration with Obsidian.

Thank you for your time and help.

You can try these:

Thank you for pointing this out, I really appreciate it. For some reason the original five colours are being recognised in a different app (Obsidian) but these three are not. Still, much appreciated. Have a great weekend!

@JoaoGAurelio I'm trying the same thing today. My Obsidian template takes the Hex and rgb values and you would have to update the csssnippet of course. I will update if i manage it, maybe you could too if you found out how!

UPDATE: After including the new HEX and decimal RGB values in the template and csssnippet my Obsidian managed to show the annotation callouts in the correct color.

Hi all,
The link above to GitHub works, but to save you time, here are the hex codes:

Gray #aaaaaa
Magenta #e56eee
Orange #f19837

Cheers!
