Coloured lists - come on Trello .. please allow lists to be colored

Question

When is Trello going to provide basic functionality to allow lists to be coloured.

Addins are no good .. you have to tell each member of the team what to install and what to setup.

It should be possible to colour  a list and for every user to see that colour

Hi Adam,

Definitely understand where you're coming from!

With Trello feature requests, we track these internally – rest assured your feedback is with our product team.

That said, right now, Trello’s team is focused on working on a few large-scale priorities for the app itself—these are big changes that take a lot of time to put together. That means that for right now, our short-term roadmap is oriented towards taking the steps we need to take to be in a good place to push those changes.

In any case, your feature request is being tracked internally.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

All the best,

Lara
The Trello Team

Thanks .. is there any way to know how many other people have requested similar functionality?  I find it hard to believe that coloured list aren't needed by a lot of people.  And globally coloured so that all team members see the same thing.  When you have 20 lists it is hard to see the wood for the trees.

How do I know if my suggestions are accepted or rejected?

As I have pointed out.  There would not be addins if the functionality was not popular.  Numbering and colouring are basic ways of organising and identifying.

I find it hard to believe your teams that use Trello can't see the value in these to basic functionalities.

Companies such as Microsoft has a Feature Request where you can see features requests and vote on them.  I would have thought a company the size of yours would find that a useful way to engage with customers and fine tune it to our needs.

Otherwise .. great tool.
