Apply Gantt Chart Color

The task items can be made to be shown with distinct colors in the Gantt chart for easy identification and schedule management. Each bar representing the item in the chart bears the assigned color. The bars are also applied with shade variations to show the completion percentages and delays.

To assign a color to a task item

• Ensure that you are in the grid view of the project schedule. If not in the grid view: 
  • Click the app launcher  , then select 'Schedule'
  • Click 'Planner' on the top and select 'Grid' on the left.
• Expand the WBS hierarchy to the desired level
• Select the item to assign a color by clicking on the serial number
• Use the 'Ctrl' or 'Shift' key on your keyboard to select multiple items at once
• Click the  icon

• Use the color picker to choose the color

There are two ways in which you can specify color:

1. Color picker

• Drag the slider in the color spectrum bar to select the hue
• Drag the circle in the color field to select the shade
• Drag the slider in the opacity bar to set the color transparency level

The color coordinates of the chosen color are auto-populated in the text box at the bottom

2. Color coordinates

• Click the arrows at the bottom right repeatedly to switch between  HEX, RGBA, and HSLA input modes
• Enter the HEX, RGBA, or HSLA value of the color you want to assign to the item

Click anywhere inside the grid or press 'Enter' on your keyboard. The chosen color sets to the selected row items.
