Changing the color selections for custom field drop down

[Bridget Curran]

Is it possible to change the color selections for the custom field drop-down choices? I want more vibrant colors rather than pastel colors.

Hi @Bridget Curran Bridget, I also needed this function and didn't find it natively, an alternative I'm using is the following:
You need to be a Windows user, I don't know if it would work on another operating system.
When filling in the options in the field, press the windows and period keys, this will open a window with many options of icons and colors, so you can use one of them.

Hi Bridget, welcome to the community!

It's not currently possible to change the colours (or select a custom colour) for the dropdown custom fields choices. Upon playing around with it on my side, definitely agree that it would be useful to have more options and customisation available.

There is an open feature request for this, and I've gone ahead and added this thread to the request. While there is no ETA, I'll pass your interest in this onto our team for consideration! :)

As a workaround, you might consider making use of labels to take advantage of more colour options. That said, I understand they are both separate features for different use cases so totally understand if that's not practical.

If you're curious about how our team decides on what requests we work on, we've also published a blog post with more detailed and visual information here: https://blog.trello.com/feature-requests-unite-support-and-product
