Limitation for append() in Jquery

Hi,

I am using the append() method to append new colors in the colors panel, and am trying to limit the new colors to only 5. Adding many colors without limitation to the panel might look weird and I don't want that. So any ideas of how to do that?

Thanks

:point_right: You could add a variable to keep a count of how many colors there are.

Each time you add a color, increment the value of the variable and compare it with your limit. If the limit has been reached, disable or remove the "add" button from the document.
