VERY disappointed in GitHub refusing to support the LaTeX \colorbox (outright banned) or \textcolor macros (seemingly only very limited support) or any CSS solution to allow one to create colored text in Markdown files... I was hoping to create color swatches as shown in the attached preview (in VSCode), but just none of this works on GitHub...
(And yes, I understand there're some potential accessibility issues, but there're more social solutions to address these than an outright technical ban of colored text! It's 2024!)
Now, all user can get is a boring list of color names with their hex values sans pre-visualization... 😤😭
