Custom Colors for Sheets

Deanna Vandermeer

While it is wonderful that we now have the ability for custom colors on Dashboards, it would be truly helpful to also have this same ability in Sheets. It would be really helpful for some of our projects because our district uses certain colors to call attention to various district initiatives or our district instructional framework dimensions. Having the ability to customize the colors in sheets, as we can do now in Dashboards, would allow us to elevate our solutions for staff. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I second this idea! I have various projects that I use Smartsheet to help manage and being able to color coordinate the sheets would be extremely helpful in distinguishing the projects from one another.

Add more colors to the color picker for background and text colors and/or let user select custom color (as is the case legend colors in chart widget).

Same request for conditional formatting too.

I love this Idea and I think it's needed, I was in a Lab about sheets and colors at engage, and I wonder if this is on the roadmap already.

It's such a basic thing we take for granted in every other app and has been requested hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the years. If they haven't seen fit to offer a basic color picker yet, I'm not sure they ever will.

Gantt view - Bar chart more custom color options

Hello, Would it be possible to add the custom color option to the color choices within the sheet? It would be nice to be able to apply company specific colors to conditional formatting. Gantt chart task bars, rows, etc.

Thanks,

Kristen

Allow user to apply more colors in conditional formatting. Generic color picker would be great both for the background and text coloring.

+1 to this suggestion. Customizing colors is such an effective way for the user to make sheets and forms more functional.

How to enter custom color for cell background? — Smartsheet Community

I would like the ability to add custom colors to the pallet and bookmark custom colors for quick access similar to what most Microsoft products do.

Can you please add the ability to input custom codes for cell and chart colors? I see this has been an ongoing request in forums for several years.
