Twelve named colours (Amber, Slate Blue, Brown, Blue, Orange, Purple, Green, Teal, Red, Pink, Indigo, Charcoal) assignable per stage. The chosen colour is snapshotted onto the project at start, so the schedule renders each stage in its assigned colour even for custom stages that aren't in the canonical map.
Also called: colour code my stages · stage colours · change stage colour
- 1STAGE_COLOR_PRESETS defines the palette; the editor shows swatches
- 2taskColor() prefers the project's own snapshot, then the global canonical map, then a neutral grey
- 3Bars are shaded slightly differently for adjacent same-status stages so runs stay divided
Two stages side by side in similar colours read as one bar, and on a board scanned at arm's length that is a crew sent to the wrong job on the wrong day. Stage colours are chosen so no two sit in the same hue family. Custom stages a builder adds carry a colour saved onto the job itself — before that they fell outside the standard set and rendered grey, which is the one colour that tells the reader nothing.
- Adjacent bars being visually indistinguishable
- Custom stages losing their colour
