Can we upload additional custom colors for Epic labels?

Question

We have the need to assign colors to many more Epics than those that come as options in the drop-down menu. To avoid duplicating colors, is it possible to add additional colors (e.g. by hex code)? I see that Trello has a plugin to do this. Does Jira Software?

Hello @Erika Simon

It does not appear that this is natively possible, though there is a change request on which you can vote/comment.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-16051

In my search of the Atlassian Marketplace I did not find any apps that would add that capability to Jira.

Hi @Erika Simon ,

Marketplace vendor here, we have a dedicated app to colorful labels, so I am very much invested in this topic.

As @Trudy P Claspill said, there is no app in the Marketplace today that allows you to customize the color Epic labels, customfield labels or even default labels. Even our product is limited to 14 colors. That is not by design, but much rather a technical limitation – we (and other vendors, too, I believe) would love to offer a better experience here.

Long story short, sorry that is not possible today. But please go and vote for JSWCLOUD-16051 – that's the best way to let Atlassian know that we all need & want more colors.

Best regards,
 Oliver
