Color selection for 2019.X

Got a question for you guys and what you think about this.

Currently there is eight selection for colors, me would like to see 16 selection.

Let's say we want to keep the default white and add a warm white currently,  we have to change one of the color selections to make the warm light since that removes the current color selection..

By up the color selection to 16 selections, it gives the users more options of color usage..

I remember when you could only have 6 colors.  I believe Dan was the one who increased it up to 8.

Just wanted to make sure you understood that the 8-color limit is only for one instance of one effect.  Every single effect in your sequence can have any 8 colors (out of millions).  So the number of colors in a sequence is unlimited.  If you already understood this, then I apologize.  It wasn't clear from your message.

The only time I found myself longing for more than 8 colors on a single effect was when I was trying to define fades and/or gradients of multiple colors.  I agree it could be helpful to have 16, but most of the time 8 has been sufficient, at least for me.
