One of the best reasons to use a select field instead of plain text is that you can use background colors on the options. It’s a great visual cue. However, when we create a board view the colors are ignored and worse, a generic blue will show as an icon unless we add an emoji to the select option (see comparison in 1st and second screenshots). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/7/75770a7014d4a8fb02cb9575b2894d385da25f0e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/03974cd5db7427167999cd00a8cb80e1e0a5f469.png) I’d really like to see the color choice for a select field reflected in the representation of a group. Especially on board views but also in grouped lists. The lack of continuity in the colors across views reduces the effectiveness of the feature and the groups themselves. I like the “button” like styling of competitors like Notion and ClickUp ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/a/a3c570e5047f16396e3e1bd193b3792c0e7418a1.png) ---

Good idea, we will do it eventually
