Available colours
Workly offers a curated palette of 15+ project colours, including blues, greens, reds, purples, oranges, and neutrals. Each colour has a distinct shade that stands out in both light and dark themes.
Section colours
In addition to project colours, each section within a project can have its own colour. This helps visually distinguish between different phases, sprints, or categories within a project.
Why use colours
- Quick identification — Instantly spot the project you need in the sidebar
- Team alignment — Use consistent colours for project types (e.g. red for urgent, blue for product, green for marketing)
