Post From: Numbers Bars Background Settings - Request Transparent Color Option for Range 0

I have the Numbers Bars study overlaied on the Market Depth Historical Graph Heatmap on my chart with the Background Type set to "Background on Dominant Side". I am able to filter change what Background Colors appears for Range 1,2, and 3 Up and Down Colors by using different values for percentage and actual Background Coloring Methods. However, the Range 0 Up and Range 0 Down Colors cannot be filtered out based on the 3 filtering options in the Percentage or Actual Amounts settings in Numbers Bars. Currently, I just change the Range 0 Up and Down Colors to black to make the colors inconspicuous but the black color option still covers the Market Depth Historical Graph Heatmap underneath (see attached).

I would like to have the Dominant Backgrounds that are colored based on the Range 0 color settings appear as transparent so that no background appears for values that do not meet my filtering criteria in the Numbers Bars study.

Numbers Bars: NumbersBars Calculated Values Background Coloring Example

I am aware of the "None - Transparent" background coloring option but it does not appear that there is a transparent color setting available in the Basic or Custom Colors of the Color settings. Would you be able to provide a checkbox or a Yes or No field that would change the Range 0 Up and Down Colors to Transparent? Or possibly add a transparent color option to the Sierra Chart color palette so that users can select the "Transparent" color option when they do not want to display a specific background or text.

Thank You
