I voted, but wanted to reiterate how useful this change should be. We are a two person team with some minor input from other departments, and my teammate and I have the same color. As someone with worsening vision, this would be very helpful for me differentiate between mine and my teammate’s tasks while in a shared project.

Welcome to the Forum @Michael_Acton and thank you for sharing your feedback.
A workaround that you could use is to sort task by assignee to differentiate between your and your colleague’s tasks in a shared project. I hope this helps!

`Thank you for the suggestion. Instead of that Workaround, I went into MS Paint and did a fill color in a completely different color and then typed my initials. Then I saved it to a JPG and uploaded it. The initials are off center, but it was significantly easier on the eyes…BTW. The font on this web page is too light grey for people with vision difficulties, so I’m using an HTML tag for others with vision difficulties.
Nevermind my HTML code got overridden by the default font. Sorry guys. I guess we got to work with what we got.
Is this still an issue that cannot be addressed? This is a very simple fix that I feel can be addressed easily. Several people at our company have the same color which makes it hard to quickly identify who the task is assigned to. Team initials and colors are the way we differentiate best.

I looked for two hours on how to change the color of the team members. Finally found this feed. This is a must and I’m shocked that it hasn’t been implemented since it’s been discussed for such a long period of time. Please implement this suggestion. It would make Asana rise above the other products out there.

This is ridiculous. I am a programmer, and this is trivial. A workaround is insulting for something like this. It’s already tracking the color…just give us an interface to set it…that’s the easy part!
Like the other fellow said, the pictures are too small for details, so we end up using the colors/patterns as the visual cue.
I voted, but looking how long this has been around, I expect Asana is blowing us off on this issue. It’s being used with most of my clients, and it’s a sore spot for ALL OF THEM. They won’t bother to post (they read the threads)…but I’m sure it’ll be just one more factor when they decide to move to another platform. I’m already seeing it happen (I’m being asked if I know of alternatives). It’s a wonderful product but this just demonstrates how much you don’t value your customers.

This is essential please as we always refer to our team with initials and don’t want to use images.
Also just this week initials for one of my team mates suddenly changed to exactly my color BUT only when using my iPad… and my colour on iPad has also changed for some reason but not on computer? How can that be that they are different colours?

One of my colleagues also confirmed his colours in iOS devices for people are now showing differently to email alerts and web version?
I noticed that the iOS dark mode inverts the colours of these, which was quite confusing… is this what is happening for you, too?
Nope, sorry, I was wrong. I switched back to light mode and that is not what’s causing it!!! I do feel like this happened in an update…
Yeah must have been an error from the last update so hopefully they will fix ASAP or finally allow us to choose the colours.

Change font to 90…Works Great !!!
I agree. Even more importantly, if this is how responsive to their customers, not sure I want to engage with them

Can we get an update on this thread? There are plenty of users backing this discussion and it would be a simple fix that will make a lot of people happy. This thread is over 3 years old at this point.

I’m on a trial. I need to change the user colors. This thread is alarming–no response from Asana to four years worth of requests for something very simple?
