Description

**Describe the bug**

I painfully miss light highlight colors in the "Background Colors" window. This makes highlighting text unpleasant for the eye because the contrast against the standard black text is too low. Here are some screenshots:

It seems, surprisingly, that the color selection doesn't have the whole Gamut available offering only very few light ones such as light yellow and turquoise but no light blue or red.

**Where did it happen?**

Did the issue occur on CryptPad.fr? - Yes!

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open a new text document, write some text and the click on the "Background Color" button in the tool bar. Try to highlight something in light blue.

**Expected behavior**

I would expect to have a full Gamut, e.g. as HSL color palette, available that allows to select colors of every hue, lightness and saturation (maybe as discretized table but covering the whole range).

**System**

- Device: Dell XPS laptop
- OS: NixOS (20.09)
- Browser: chromium
- Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (64-bit)
