I want to Customize default message background color by number. Tools > options > composition, only allows me to select one of 70 swatches. I can specify the color by number in a template, but it takes 3 clicks to open a template, to start a new message. Is there a way to edit the color in the default message settings, or a keyboard shortcut to open a template for a new message?

Thanks

Open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor, right-click the preference msgcompose.background_color, Modify, and enter the hex value for the desired color, OK to close Options.
