Kendo UI Editor - Change default colors of font color picker and background color picker

I am using the Kendo UI Editor and I want to choose which color will appear in the font and background color palettes. Or another alternative is letting the user choose from a custom color picker.

I found examples on forums, but they all use older version of Kendo 2012. The latest version 2016 R3 does not know such a definition: kendo.ui.editor.ColorPicker.fn.options.colors It says it is undefined:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'fn' of undefined

Is there a way to do this? I looked in the forums and saw this answer but this isn't working.

  kendo.ui.editor.ColorPicker.fn.options.colors = ["c3c3c3", "b97a57", "ffaec9", "ffc90e", "efe4b0", "b5e61d", "99d9ea", "7092be", "c8bfe7"];

Update: The solution work with latest version of kendo UI after user question was modified

Kendo UI Editor - Change default colors of font color picker and background color picker

In brief the soultion in the link is this code:

<script>
$("#editor").kendoEditor({
    tools: [{
        name: "backColor",
        palette: ["#f0d0c9", "#e2a293", "#d4735e", "#65281a"]
       },
       { 
           name: "foreColor",
           palette: ["red", "green", "#d47eee", "#65281a"]
       }
   }]
});
</script>

Old : This Solution works but only with kendo 2012 version.

                Kendo UI Editor allows your users to edit HTML in a familiar, user-friendly way.&lt;br /&gt;
                In this version, the Editor provides the core HTML editing engine, which includes basic text formatting, hyperlinks, lists,
                and image handling. The widget &lt;strong&gt;outputs identical HTML&lt;/strong&gt; across all major browsers, follows
                accessibility standards and provides API for content manipulation.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;Features include:&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;ul&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Text formatting &amp; alignment&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Bulleted and numbered lists&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Hyperlink and image dialogs&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Cross-browser support&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Identical HTML output across browsers&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;Gracefully degrades to a &lt;code&gt;textarea&lt;/code&gt; when JavaScript is turned off&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;/ul&gt;
