With the ability to color Projects, Tags, and Custom Fields, why - oh - why are there only 16 colors available to choose from?

Please give us more color options!

CUSTOM HEX COLORS PLS!!

Asana is a software designed to be scalable. The color limitations really hurts Asanaā€™s ability to keep project sizes and varieties scalable while retaining the visual cues needed for the mind to differentiate between them. At least double the palette size. The 16 colors picked for us are too close to each other anyway. This is a no-brainer. Developers, this is being requested for the longest time now. Please make your customersā€™ lives easier and their Asana experience better by allowing custom project colors!

Already two years since ignoring ā€œmore colorsā€ request!
We should throw some party somewhere! :rofl:

*Constructive criticism of ignoring ideas, not people.

Never thought I needed this until we added a bunch more users to Asana across a variety of departments.

Could see the ability to have custom colors incredibly helpful for fields related to multi-step approvals (various shades of green light ā†’ dark as it moves through approvers).

Would think itā€™s a relatively easy solution to implement, just add hex UI to the color picker. Iā€™m assuming that the labels, calendar items, etc. that display 1 of the 16 colors today is doing so by referencing a hex code (unless itā€™s hard coded and tied to CSS, then I can see hesitancy, but even thenā€¦)

We have a corporate style guide that everyone adheres to for product management, and this includes the colors that are stipulated for each of our products when represented in presentations, in documentation, and well. . . pretty much anywhere. So this would be a pretty big deal to us if it was a feature. If nothing else, at least the full material design palette would be great, though hex colors are in Aha! and ClickUp. I really hope this becomes something Asana considers. It would be really tough to make our people remember two sets of colors of our product management (since thatā€™s what we we are evaluating Asana for). Many time they know our products by color way faster than anything else; it would be pretty messy to not be able to have the same ones. :frowning:

Agreed! More colours would be super simple to implement but would massively help my visuals!

We are new customers and desperately need more colors for our projects. We would love to have a hexcode input, to put in the clients main color.

Please Asana, can you provide that feature?

Custom Hex colours would be great. Weā€™ve got more than 16 projects on the go and having to double up on colours is confusing things. It would be great if we can set the project colour to the brand colour of the client weā€™re working with on that project.

It would be great to have a wider selection of colours to be given for projects, or even better to be able to select - add a custom colour according to Hex numbers such as
Hex #000000

We really need more colors, itā€™s not that hard to do, why the delay? the existing colors look very much alike. and they arenā€™t that many.

Iā€™m using asana as a bug tracker, itā€™s easier for the team

Bug

Feature
CMS
API

And I run out of colors.

I would love more colours too! After you make about 8 projects, it becomes really necessary to organize by having more colours. Please let us have custom hex colours!

Thanks :slight_smile:

Another request for custom colors! This simple change would make such a huge difference in terms of being able to get a visual reading of which clients I have to work on in a given day. Because Iā€™ve run out of colors I donā€™t have as clear of idea at a glance for client work during a time period.

+1 custom colours - 9 to choose from is ridiculous - way too limited. This was first requested back in 2017 - do you have an update on this Asana?

We have just started using Asana and already weā€™ve run out of colours. There are entire families of colours missing (such as browns and black) which makes it very difficult to reference our projects by their branded client colours. A hex code/colour picker is a trivial change that would make all our lives easier. Please prioritize this! Similarly, itā€™s bonkers that itā€™s impossible to edit your own profile colour. A colour picker there would also go a long way. What is the status on this request?

Hello, Asana? Is this on the dev list or not? Let us know. You are making it difficult by not allowing project names to show up on the calendar AND limiting the project colors. This should be a very high dev priority. Is it?
