I’ve been following the development of Monday.com for years-- since they were DaPulse-- and I seriously can’t believe we still can’t use colors more than once. Being able to just reuse the green color multiple times to represent the different ways that column can be “complete” would be a game changer.

I agree that we really need the ability to reuse status colours as we are facing the issue of running out of options on a couple of boards and also visually would like different “words” but the same colour.

It would be nice to update the color palette for status and other elements so that when we share the export with clients, it is already in the required branding format. Also - we need to be able to re-use colors or import a gradient of colors so that there could also be a monochromatic color scheme with gradients to show “intensity”. It would be really great to be able to select multiple stock themes (the current default is not color blind friendly) and it would also be great to be able to pick your own color. there could be an option in the color palette that was a color picker that allowed you to add/store new colors.

Completely agree — custom colors and the ability to choose the same color twice would be AMAZING!

Do we have a timeline for this update by any chance?
I agree that this feature is of much greater importance to users than it’s being given.
The limited amount of label colors is a big disappointment. Users need to create custom colours through a simple RGB/HEX code picker/input, similar to the already existing “Color Picker” column feature.
Custom colours need to be saved as a master colour and be accessible for all users and all functions so users don’t have to create the same colour across different functions within the account.
The “Red” label colour isn’t even close to red RGB red, and there only one “Red” to choose from. This isn’t acceptable and has led to confusion and productivity issue due to the lack of intuitiveness of the limited colour option that users are forced to use.
We don’t need more colours, we need control over the colours we can create ourselves. Please make this a priority.

Hi guys,
Our company Stiltsoft develops the Smart Spreadsheet for monday app - hope it will help you to use Excel-like features right on monday.com platform.
You’ll be able to import/export your data (and boards with items as well) and work with it as a fully functional spreadsheet (cell formulas, conditional formatting, pivot tables, etc.) in one place.
Best regards,
Katerina Kovriga

Yes, the ability to add color to the headers and columns would allow the visual grouping of columns together. We’re putting together a very detailed accounting and financial month-end close checklist, with several columns for the Preparer Names, Status, Due/Completed Dates, plus the same for Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 2. The ability to group these columns together by color would create a much more professional board, plus allow the users to focus on their columns. This should be added.

+1 for coloring columns to let team know what columns are automations and which ones arent. Kind of cant believe this isnt just a default feature of Monday!
As a project manager user of monday.com I ned to be able to color code/shade columns so that I can easily identify related groups of columns.
In more detail: If the first 3 columns are related to step 1 in a workflow, the next 3 columns are related to step 2 in the workflow, the next 3 columns are about step 3, etc, etc, it would be very useful to be able to shade/color the top textbox of each column (where the column name is) so that we can easily visually distinguish the groups.

Definately would like to see this
Hi all, I was looking for something similar as well and came across this post. Do you know if there is any third party app that could help with that?
Thank you 
It has been 4 years since this feature was requested. I don’t understand how such a basic and very popular change has not yet been implemented.

+1 Would also love to see some kind of feature, even grouping collumns would help.
Hi all. First time posting here, but I think I may have found some sort of solution for column color shading. By using the “conditional coloring” feature at the top of the board’s menu, you can set parameters that fill in every column. For example, I used the following conditions: Cell > Column > is not empty ; Cell > Column > is empty. This color shaded the entire column for me. Obviously, this will become a long list of conditions, but this view can be saved as the default board. Hopefully this helps some of y’all. Take care!
