Hi, Im trying to change the default text colour of my messages but can only select the pre-defined (system colours). I want to set a html/hex colour.

Im going to Tools>Options>Composition>General and changing the the text colour from there but i cannot set a Hex colour i.e #1f497d

How can I do this? thanks
