Guess what?
I just found out that we can write in colors that aren't on the chart! This has been written in teal, turqoise, silver, and magenta. Not sure what others will come up. Lime green won't.

Innernesting. Teal and turquoise are different when I do them but I don't see a difference in Jackie's text.

Edit: Never mind. Operator malfunction.
