<h1>Exploring the mysteries of space</h1>
<p>Space, the final frontier, stretches infinitely beyond the confines of Earth, a vast expanse of darkness speckled with stars, planets, and <b>galaxies</b>. It is a place of profound mystery and beauty, where the laws of physics manifest in ways that challenge our understanding. The cosmos is <a href="https://example/com">a cosmic dance</a> of celestial bodies moving in the silent echo of the universe, from the fiery birth of stars in nebulae to the enigmatic pull of black holes.</p>

<h2>Humanity's Journey Beyond Earth</h2>
<p>Exploring space has pushed humanity to its limits, revealing not just the universe's grandeur, but also the fragility of our own planet. Satellites orbiting Earth provide crucial data for communication, weather forecasting, and global positioning, while telescopes peer deep into the cosmos, uncovering the universe's age and composition. Each discovery in space leads us to new questions about our place in the universe, driving our insatiable curiosity to explore the unknown.</p>

    pink:   ["#a61e4d", "#c2255c", "#d6336c", "#e64980", "#f06595", "#f783ac", "#faa2c1", "#fcc2d7", "#ffdeeb", "#fff0f6"],
    grape:  ["#862e9c", "#9c36b5", "#ae3ec9", "#be4bdb", "#cc5de8", "#da77f2", "#e599f7", "#eebefa", "#f3d9fa", "#f8f0fc"],
    violet: ["#5f3dc4", "#6741d9", "#7048e8", "#7950f2", "#845ef7", "#9775fa", "#b197fc", "#d0bfff", "#e5dbff", "#f3f0ff"],
    indigo: ["#364fc7", "#3b5bdb", "#4263eb", "#4c6ef5", "#5c7cfa", "#748ffc", "#91a7ff", "#bac8ff", "#dbe4ff", "#edf2ff"],
    blue:   ["#1864ab", "#1971c2", "#1c7ed6", "#228be6", "#339af0", "#4dabf7", "#74c0fc", "#a5d8ff", "#d0ebff", "#e7f5ff"],
    cyan:   ["#0b7285", "#0c8599", "#1098ad", "#15aabf", "#22b8cf", "#3bc9db", "#66d9e8", "#99e9f2", "#c5f6fa", "#e3fafc"],

You can add or replace with your own colors:


Redactor('#entry', {
    plugins: ['blockbackground'],
    colors: {
        gray: ['#333333', '#555555', '#777777', '#999999', '#aaaaaa', '#bbbbbb', '#cccccc', '#dddddd', '#eeeeee', '#f4f4f4']
    }
});

If you want to completely replace the preset colors, then add a set flag to the setting:


Redactor('#entry', {
    plugins: ['blockbackground'],
    colors: {
        set: true,
        gray: ['#333333', '#555555', '#777777', '#999999', '#aaaaaa', '#bbbbbb', '#cccccc', '#dddddd', '#eeeeee', '#f4f4f4']
    }
});

By default, the color selection dropdown shows an input for entering a custom color value, it can be disabled:


Redactor('#entry', {
    plugins: ['blockbackground'],
    blockbackground: {
        input: false
    }
});

By default, color groups are shown as columns. You can change this by adjusting the colorpicker settings. This includes increasing the color swatch size. See Colorpicker settings for more details.


Redactor('#entry', {
    plugins: ['fontcolor'],
    colorpicker: {
        row: true,
        wrap: true,
        width: '320px',
        size: 'large'
    },
    colors: {
        set: true,
        gray: ['#333333', '#555555', '#777777', '#999999', '#aaaaaa', '#bbbbbb', '#cccccc', '#dddddd', '#eeeeee', '#f4f4f4']
    }
});
