Why does one Epic I entered display with a gold background, and another displays with a purple? This shows on the stories that are linked to the Epics.

The Epics and Stories are all in the same project on the same Kanban broad.

@Suresh Jaladurgam Found it! Our scrum board was filtered not to show Epics or Features. Once I added Epics back to the query, the Epics came back in the panel and I was able to change colours.

Hi Karen,

This is to help tell visually the Epic a part from each other, you can actually change the color of the Epic on the backlog.

Click on the EPICS below the VERSION panel on the left of the backlog section if not already expanded, there you can select the colors -

Once you select your color for your Epic, you can then go back to your Scrum/Kanban board to see it change.

Hi David,

Thanks for answering. I think the problem may be with the way our JIRA has been set up. After looking at your answer, I started looking for more info -- because, my board is a Kanban board, and there is no "Backlog" section with an EPICS link. It seems like this would not matter, but I cannot find any way to see this dropdown where I can select the color.

Hi @Dave , Atlassian Team

I am facing a similar problem with the same color being applied to multiple Epics. See I tried to select a different color on the Backlog>>Epic Panel, but none of my Epics are being displayed there.

See Green highlighted portion in screen print for the two issues.

Can you help? Thanks.

Hi, I have the same issue as Suresh, no Epics in the panel.
