Color coding would be more effective if it could be applied to the cell background of a particular column (or entire rows). Defining the foreground color of cell text could also be quite useful (as well as bold/italic) - e.g., rendering imminent dates in red for a Due Date column.

Agreed. Strange though, I am fairly sure this has been discussed and requested before, but it doesn’t show up easily on a search.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is the third post I’ve made tonight re: repeated requests and lack of their organization. I too recall something about color-coding, I think, but at this point it takes a lot of time to try to go back and find that stuff. We have a lot of non-native English speakers in here, so perhaps it was described in a way neither myself nor you instinctively would type in the search. So again, I think this is an example of how it would be good to have the requests categorized or otherwise vetted when they come in…

I’m finding though that the small “bar” of color: [image] does not give my team quite the effect of being able to see at a glance, in meetings, highlighted cards. Would you guys consider adding a preference her to color the entire card? So I could choose if I want just the “bar” that is the current op…

[image] Matt_Blais: Defining the foreground color of cell text could also be quite useful (as well as bold/italic) - e.g., rendering imminent dates in red for a Due Date column. I’d like to revise this as I think what you’re talking about @Matt_Blais is something like in Asana where if there is a date column in a list, and the date is overdue, that date is shown in red. Not the entire row, nor the entire column. I was actually going to request this feature right now but you basically already hit the nail on the head. So hoping this request gets revised, since as far as I know the ability to do what you’re asking is not available yet. Here is an example of how this looks in Asana: [image] Thanks!

@B_Sp Yeah, my original request here is too old to edit, and due to its wording, it’s not a great post for the “customize foreground colors” request.

Seems to me like the original request basically encompasses this, doesn’t it?

Yeah, but the team already marked it “Done”, plus the Title only mentions “background”, so we probably need a new request to get it back on their radar.

Hmm, where did they mark it Done though? This is still “open” and in the Ideas & Features category… I mean yes there is Michael’s post above: [image] mdubakov: Implemented in the latest release But then why not actually Close the topic? :thinking: This one is also still open: [image] [APROVED] Color Coding of entire Card/Entity, not just "bar" of color Ideas & Features Hi guys, I really like the color feature and I’ve been using it extensively with dates to show upcoming due dates, and massively overdue stuff (over a month for example, which is an option).
