Input type color value cannot be empty

[herbdool]

I see this error in the console log:

The specified value "" does not conform to the required format. The format is "#rrggbb" where rr, gg, bb are two-digit hexadecimal numbers.

It's for thes elements:

<input type="color" id="edit-accent-picker" name="accent_picker" value="" class="form-color" />

<input type="color" id="edit-focus-picker" name="focus_picker" value="" class="form-color" />

Thanks @herbdool -- can you provide STR? How are you ending up with no value in the accent picker? Is it a case of a corrupted config file from saving during earlier JS errors? Does it go away if you pick a color there?

@laryn I uninstalled and re-enabled gin but the HTML errors are still there. Those input elements are normally hidden unless someone chooses "custom". Then they get populated. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/color says it defaults to black if the value is invalid. Not sure if this element is provided by Backdrop core. Perhaps the gin config file should default the custom color to black.

@herbdool I can't reproduce, I'm not sure what's different. There is a default provided:

• https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/gin/blob/1.x-5.x/config/gin.settings.json#L7

Hmm... I wonder if the fact that some config values are still provided in the old way (but not this one) could be causing a conflict?

@herbdool What version of Backdrop and PHP is the site in question?

@herbdool Could this be related to the snafu where a theme can be designated as the default admin theme but not actually be activated? I think that makes theme settings behave strangely.
