How to define the color of the labels when creating column via API

Hello

I am using the mutation to create_column via API.

I need to define the color associated to each label but I can’t find how to do this or if it is at all possible. I need to add that column in 15 boards and have 39 labels so trying to avoid having to do this manually.

Thank you

Hello, Can you create the columns in Monday.com as a column template with the colours pre set - and then just call it in via the API? https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405213200018-Column-templates

Thank you very much Clare for your suggestion.

I know about templated columns but I can’t find the API call to call a templated column to create it in a board. (Note that I must create it via an API to ensure the column has the same ID in all boards - creating the column manually in each board doesn’t follow this criterion).

Does it exist and I am just missing it in the documentation?
