Make the colored preferences editable
I'd like to see the ability to edit the colored preferences (Favorite, Like, Okay, etc). Also, the ability to change the colors themselves to something else. Possibly also the option to use different shapes for each preference (star, circle, square, etc).
I find in some instances wanting to be able to say No/Not Applicable or use white/Not Entered as Not Applicable.
Example: User is a male, and as such cunnilingus cannot be performed on them since they do not have a vagina. None of the options seem particularly appropriate in these circumstances.
Example 2: User is colorblind, and cannot easily distinguish between Green/Blue or Red/Orange. Using other colors or shapes to differentiate them is desired.
Example 3: User's associations lie in another culture where Red does not make sense for No, or user's own play group prefers different associations. Changing the colors as appropriate for the user makes sense.
First let me say that I am certainly not opposed to making this configurable.
With that out of the way, I want to point out that the current setup was actually created with color-blindness in mind. I went to quite great lengths to find colors that are compatible with most variants of color-blindness. As such I feel like if I made the colors editable; I'd probably want to add a warning giving this reasoning for the colors used.
Using shapes instead would be a fairly considerable time investment, especially if you wanted to make it editable shapes.
Again, I'm not opposed to making changes here, but there's definite downsides to adding that option also. Right now with everyone using the same color-scheme, it's easier for people who've seen them before to figure out what's filled out at a glance.
