Custom color picks up on iOS

Tapping Custom for your lane on a phone used to do nothing. Now the system Colors sheet opens, and the shade you choose shows up in Settings and onboarding.

You're in Settings on your phone, giving your lane a color. Tap Custom and the system Colors sheet slides up, the same one you meet in Photos. Roll to a shade, and the preview updates on the spot. The ring around your avatar, the rail beside your commits, and the dot before your handle follow. Save, and the graph wears it everywhere.

A contributor found that Safari was ignoring the old request to show the picker. The same code now focuses the hidden native color field without scrolling, then clicks it. The phone raises its sheet on focus, and other browsers still want the click. One handler covers profile settings and onboarding. The palette holds six named colors, Auto (chosen from your account id), and Custom, and the server stores your pick as a six-digit hex.

One catch. Custom is still the operating system's sheet, and the app has no hex box or opacity slider of its own. The server takes only a plain six-digit hex, so a see-through lane is out. Bring an alpha channel and the server turns the color away.
