Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)

With complex workflows, we have adopted many custom statuses now. However, the limitation can be confusing when you have many custom statuses in the same category. It's confusing for support agents and engineers to quickly use the status they should. 

What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) 

Faster time to resolution, similar answer to above. 

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)

Every day. There are certain workflows that are status dependent, and if someone clicks the wrong one, it can cause a ticket to be orphaned or solved slower. 

Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)

No

What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)

Just give a color selector/hex code field for us to set whatever color we want. If Zendesk is stuck on the colors for categories being consistent, at least give us different hueues/shades of the colors to pick from, within each status category.

It´s hard to see difference between the colors especially On-Hold and Solved.

This change has been frustrating for us as well.

Yes-- I would also be curious to know if Accessibility considerations were made with the color choices and gradations, as I've also gotten reports that the white font on the yellow color (within the ticket agent view) is not legible to some users.

There should be a straightforward way for admins to edit the colors at the level of the Status Categories if enabling custom statuses, otherwise Status configuration.
