Need more background colors sessions

It would really be nice to have more background colors for sessions, preferably custom colors. Currently, only 8 colors are available. To be able to also change the foreground colors as well would be awesome!

You can customize the colors directly in GlobalSettings.xml

Inside GlobalSettings.xml in the folder %appdata%\FreeFileSync I found no statements defining colors for the "Background color" selection for the right mouse button. See the attached image for the "Background color" selection.
How do I define colors inside GlobalSettings.xml that add/remove/change colors to the selection?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<FreeFileSync>

    <Gui>

        <MainDialog>

            <ConfigPanel>

                <Configurations>

                    <Item Color="DDDDDD"/>

The approach that you have suggested manually overrides one of the "Background color" selections for already existing session. However, it does not change the "Background color" selections apparently hardwired into the application.
To be more precise, can the GUI "Background color" selections be changed or not? (as shown on the attached image).

Yes, I just wanted to mention it in case someone finds it useful.

Custom background colors via a color picker menu option has been implemented for FFS 11.26!
