Allow to toggle/circle light's favorite colors

The Hue app has a very nice thing with their remotes in which you can circle around a predefined list of scenes when pressing a button.

A feature like this would be great for people switching to ZHA.

Lights already have a list of “favorite colors”, but they dont seem to be accesible to automations or anything else besides de Frontend. Ideally the feature would add a new action to the device, similar to “Toggle on/off” to activate the next light color from the device’s list of colors.

I’ve seen some people writing automations to achieve this, but the approach seems cumbersome and unfriendly.

In the end I solved it with this automation from smart home junkie.
works fine. I still think this is a function that could be handled natively

I created an account to vote this up and simply agree that the favorite colors should be more accessible to automations and scripts. If you hover over the colors, the tooltip labels them 0 through 7, so it would be really neat if you could read/write them, cycle through them, etc.
