I wonder if this is a bug?<br>

<p>Good Morning Everyone,</p>
<p>I have a geology layer with a few columns, including the
chronostratigraphic symbol, the rock type description and,
importantly, a colour column (String type). The values stored in
the colour column are the HTML hex values for the colour
according to the 1 : 1 000 000 simplified geological map of
South Africa.</p>
<p>When I open the layer and select the colour column for
colouring the lithological units it works beautifully, but I do
not get a legend for the composer. But if I set the
Properties|Style to Categorized and then again select the colour
from the Colour column in the table I also get the same nicely
coloured map according to the colour column, an a Legend. But
the Legend is wrong...it chooses random colours! What am I doing
wrong? Is there a way to get a correct legend, also only showing
the units which are actually on the map in the composer. I can
set the colours manually to match the value in the colour field
but that sort of defeats the purpose.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help so long,</p>
<p>Immo
