User reviews
Agree with another reviewer- Love the ability to choose colors, but when I do so it automatically changes the font from white to black, even though I have the color set (Gear icon > Appearance > Color Set) as Modern (with white text). If this were fixed I would continue using the extension. It would also be nice to be able to select custom colors for labels.

I added the extension and logged into Google. Followed the instructions but there was no "+" sign or other way to access custom colors. Very disappointing.

Nice, but 40 bucks per year or you can only add 3 more colours. Would go for it if it was a one-time payment of 3-6 USD but 40 USD for simply adding a few more colours?
