The /color command lets you set the session UI color, but the setting is lost when the session ends. There's no way to persist a preferred color across sessions.
Requested change
Add a color key to the settings schema so users can set a default:
{
"color": "cyan"
}
This would apply the color automatically at session start, equivalent to running /color cyan each time.
Workaround attempted
A SessionStart hook could theoretically automate this, but /color is a slash command and can't be invoked from a shell hook.
Available colors
From current /color validation: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, pink, cyan, default
