I too am deeply deeply disappointed with this.
For someone with ADD who relies heavily on color coding in note-taking this is a massive disappointment. Especially as many of these new limited colors do not pop at all off white or black backgrounds and are too close to each-other on the spectrum to appear distinctly different.
I have hundreds of documents with a customized color coding system and they are all now apparently obsolete??? They all have to be altered by hand now to a new system that is subpar!?!?! That's insane.
To alter Evernote's standard colors and limit customization seems like a huge nuisance and a massive feature removal rather than a streamlining.
This throws a wrench in many people's meticulously constructed organization systems.
