What determines card colors in roadmap view?

[Adam Stein]

In our current roadmap, cards are color-coded based on the "Primary goal" field:

I thought that changing this would be a simple configuration setting, but no dice: I can't find a setting anywhere for this. So then I assumed that roadmaps are for some reason hard-coded to color cards based on goal. But I tested this by setting up a new JPD project, and I can't tell what is going on:

A few things to note here:

• The color coding of the card in the Now column is driven by the Roadmap field. I can test this by updating the color for the "Now" value, which changes both the card color and the column color.
• But the cards in the Next and Later columns don't have any color at all. The column is colored to match the Roadmap value, but the cards don't have a color. 

What is going on here? The behavior is strange and I can't figure out how to adjust it.

Hi,

the highlighting of the cards based on the settings of each option. This could be found under the settings of each option (three dots next to option and than edit option)

Hi @Adam Stein , 

@Steve Prüfer is right that you are supposed to be able to change the color of your columns but first hovering on the top of the column's right corner and then clicking on the pencil.
