Jira Align "Tags" contrast gamble

[Balthazar Lang]

Usecase:
We use "Tags" to indicate teams involved to deliver a feature and to help us search/filter in the kanban. it is alos of great value for us when looking at the backlog for a PI to quickly see who/which team is driving which feature.

Lately I have run in to the issue below and wanted to share some learnings 


Tags:

the small colourful boxes we use to indicate teams and other things

Issue:

sometimes the "Align" is so smart it invents a white box on a white background with white text. Luckily it has a grey border

Pro tip:

do the good old CTRL+A to select everything and make the previous invisible text visible

Gambler tip:

remove the tag and recreate it until you get a contrasting color

  

Hacker tip:

"Inspect element" and set your favorit contrast (31337)

Thanks:

<p style="color:#FFFFFF;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> Thank you team Align for keeping the smallest feature interesting </p>
