while at that, could you point me to the

have you tried a hex color instead of a named color? #rrggbb

sometimes I've seen things like concatenating an alpha channel to a theme color, assuming that it is hex.

I don't really know media card, but I would just go look at the source for and search for "color" and see what pops out.

yes, ive tried hex colors too, and even those get filtered (probably to dislay the player icon), making them off-color compared to the theme, which is really ugly., I’ve now settled for type: media-control entity: media_player.googlehome_hub card_mod: style: | {% if is_state(config.entity,['off','idle']) %} .player { background: radial-gradient(var(--primary-color),var(--card-background-color)) } .controls { color: var(--no-power-color); } .top-info { color: var(--no-power-color); } {% endif %} as mod, but it covers the player icon there, otherwise keeps the true colors, which blends in perfectly.

Also tried the state-media_player-inactive-color, but that does not change the media-control card, only the icon in the entities card

looks really nice, albeit missing the icon
