#GitHub, issue labels: On my request the default colors are labeled with meaningful names, not only with hex codes.
I.e., you want to create several labels for your GitHub-powered workflow: bug, Enhancement, Dependency Updates, and so on.
It's very nifty if you mark all those labels with different colors: red for bug, yellow for dependency, blue for enhancement and so on.
But what if you are blind? Before you had only hex codes randomly thrown at you, and you had to be a CSS guru to know that those six hexits represent, say, teal or dark green.
Now it's fixed, and you can select one of the default colors with a press of a button, and those colors have meaningful English names in front of their hex codes.
Well done, GitHub! #Accessibility #Microsoft cc @cariefisher
