Color

The Color field lets users pick and store a color value. It includes a visual color picker, direct hex input, and the ability to copy the color code for use elsewhere.

What it is

A Color field stores a single color value and gives users a built-in picker to choose it. Colors can be stored in Hex , HSL , or RGBA format depending on what you need. The field includes a copy button so any color can be quickly grabbed and used elsewhere.

When to use it

• Status labels with color coding - store a color per status so each one displays with its own visual indicator
• Category colors - assign a distinct color to each product category, project type, or tag
• Brand colors - keep a client's or partner's brand color on their record for reference
• Event or calendar markers - store colors to visually differentiate items in a calendar view
• Custom UI elements - any situation where your app needs a user-defined color stored with a record

Settings

• Label - the name shown above the field in forms and layouts
• Required - prevents saving the record unless a color is selected
• Conditional - show or hide the field based on another field's value
• Color format - users can toggle between Hex ( #RRGGBB ), HSL, and RGBA when picking a color
• Copy button - included automatically so users can copy the color code with one click

Example

In a task management app, you have a Status field with options like New, In Progress, and Done. You add a Color field labeled Status Color to your Statuses object type so each status has its own color stored alongside its name. Your team sets New to blue, In Progress to yellow, and Done to green. Layouts and list views can then use those colors to visually differentiate tasks at a glance - no hunting through a list to see what's complete.
