More contrast for quotes

You could achieve it by adding some custom CSS. I’ve prepared a small code snippet that would give the whole quote container a grey background color:

.content-quote-container {
    background-color: #e3e4ec;}

I haven’t tested it further so please use it with caution!

I have to correct myself, the above code snippet is only half the solution as it only covers simple quotes, but it doesn’t work when a user breaks a quote into several parts (like in your example). This should be the correct CSS:

.content-quote-container,
.post__content blockquote  {
    background-color: #e3e4ec;}

Hey ​@Paul_ ! sorry this one sat without a proper response for so long.

As @bjoern_schulze pointed out, this is actually achievable today via custom CSS. If you or your team haven't tried it yet, the snippet shared in the thread should give your quote blocks a custom background.

On the platform side, quote block styling is something we expect to revisit as part of our editor improvements. We can't commit to a specific timeline right now, but better visual defaults for quoted content is on our radar.

Thanks for flagging this.
