Board Background Colors

[Ann Marie Johnson]

Hi there, Is there a way to get more color options for the board background? The pictures are too busy for us.

Hi @Ann Marie Johnson 

Option 1

Use the photo's option and search for colours by name, gradients etc...

Option 2

Create your own backgrounds using Canva.  This is what I do and I'm happy to share a template with lots of simple designs that don't create too much noise for the board...

Thank you! Very helpful. I thought Illustrator (similar to Canvas) would be an option. I just hadn't had the time to get in there are create.

Yes that would work, I typically have the resolution at 2560x1440 but you could go lower, but 16:9 aspect ratio works best

I'm not a super user but I agree that pictures are too busy for most work. What I usually do is do a quick google image search for "green background". I'll bet you could even use a specific color hash and find the exact color you are looking for.
Just save the image and then from the backgrounds menu, load from a file.
Hope that helps.

Thank you! Great idea.
