How to change Gantt chart background color

jennyp

Hi all,

I used a Smartsheet provided Gantt chart template for projects. The default background color for the Grid view (and possibly the Gantt chart as well, don't remember) was the royal blue you see below.

I changed the Grid view background to white so the font color could default back to black and minimize the wide array of colors used in conditional formatting to enable the white text to be legible.

Now, most of the rows in the Gantt chart have that royal blue background and the text is not readable. The color is also very strong.

How can one change the background color of the Gantt chart?

Never mind I figured it out after I clicked save...wrong view...

If this happens to anyone else, I think it is good to note that if your Row is any color it will follow to the Gantt view.
