Colors & shades

Row colors and per-task shade variants.

Row colors

Every row has its own distinct color, assigned automatically from a 12-color palette when the row is created. A row's color drives its task bars, row marker, group dot, list badge, and PDF export.

Changing a row's color

In Group mode, right-click a row label to open the palette menu, then pick a color. The change applies to every task on that row immediately, saves itself, and appears on anyone else's open copy of the board within seconds.

Editors on a share link can recolor rows too. Viewers cannot.

Per-task shades

Give individual tasks a lighter or darker shade of their row color for variance, handy for phases or sub-groups within one row. Shades span five steps from darker to lighter.

  • Right-click a task bar to open the shade menu and pick a swatch.
  • Or open the task drawer → Color → choose a shade.
Shades apply to normal tasks only, not milestones.
