Hi,
I have a workflow with statuses (with more statuses than just ToDo, I Progress and Done). I would like to color them differently.
Is this possible ?
Thanks for your help
Hi @Charles Delaporte
The status colours refer to status categories - To Do (Grey), In Progress (Blue) and Done (Green)
On classic workflows, you can change the colour of a status between these categories - but this is applied site-wide rather than per flow. To do this you'll need to be a Jira Admin:
Next-Gen works differently - as the workflow is based on the board, the first column/status is in the "To Do" category, the last in "Done" and everything inbetween is in the "In Progress" category.
If you want more colours, you'll need to get an app for this - such as New Status Colors PRO for Jira Cloud

When was this change implemented for Server? I've seen Blue - Amber - Green on most versions until we just updated to 8.5
Hi @Lacey Also
I don't know which version it was but it wasn't recent - likely an update as part of Server Version 8.
Its been in Cloud for the last 2-3 years.
Its posible to use a custom color to a custom status?

Does that add-on work with next-gen? I am trying this out now and cannot figure out how to get it to work.
Following your instructions, I'm able to change the category of the status label, say, from "to do" to "in progress".
I think what people are asking is "Can we have the old color scheme back?" In particular, can a Jira Administrator edit the color that is associated with all of the "in progress" status categories so that it is the old amber color rather than the new blue color?
Found this thread while trying to figure out how to solve the same thing.
I'm amazed we can't set our own categories and colour schemes for those categories and statuses. I am a bit of a Jira fan, but this might be a deal breaker for me as it stops me getting the boards to flow in same way as our company processes (which are colour orientated)
Hi @Todd Dowty
The colours are just to differentiate the category names - which do more than just colour the Statuses.
Some alternatives are...
You can also see a good (albeit old) explanation as to why Atlassian won't add custom colouring on JRACLOUD-36241
Hi Stephen.
Thanks for your reply.
Card Colors isn't available and the New Status Colors is not free. I am not inclined to pay for a feature that I expect to be built in.
I've not decided yet, but I suspect I'll switch over to ClickUp as that provides the flexibility I need.
Why isn't Card Colors available? Is it a Team-managed Project?
Nope, absolutely not. We are already paying for a Jira license, I'm not going to pay more just to have colors. Instead I'm going to look for better more flexible project management software!!!!!!
The app New Status Colors PRO doesn't work with Work Management
