Can anyone confirm the full list of colors available for the Color column type? The help says 6, but BLACK works (which makes 7). Was wishing I could use Grey, but it does not seem to work. Is this column type really limited to 7 choices? Is it possible to use other colors or even HEX? Just wondering why limited to 7 standard colors?
Color: color code entries in your app with a subset of 6 standard colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Orange,Purple, and Blue.
I don’t know the answer to this but your question reminded me of another issue I’ve noticed recently – the relatively sparse choice of colors in format rules. Most of the colors don’t look very good with text so I basically stick with black, blue, and red. It we could define our own colors, however, that would be great.
@Kirk_Masden You can specify your own colors with the format rule if you type it like #ABABAB
@Mike We have 8 colors. Black, White (which is shown as light grey), Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Orange and Yellow
Thanks @Aleksi! “White” shows as grey?? Will have to try that …
I wonder if someone can update the documentation to reflect all 8 colors (not the 6 listed)?
@Steve - not your help article but can you update to reflect the 8 color choices?
Well… using “white” for grey sounded like and option… but the alternating grey bars in the table view (which I like) ruined that! Guess it’s back to Black!
Updated.
Thanks Steve!
White (which is shown as light gray) is not showing on the calendar, it needs to be fixed, thanks.
Hello I was opening a ticket when I fall on this message old 4/5 years. is gray not included in the 8 colors yet? I have facing issue adding it in the list…
