Hello, Is there a way in HubSpot to create a property that displays itself as: | **Green** | | --- | | **Yellow** | | --- | | **Red** | | --- | ^ with corresponding background colors Next to each deal, I’d like to be able to designate if the status of the deal: green, yellow, red. Perhaps this can be done with a rich text field? To provide some context regarding my objective: as a project manager / sales leader of a large group of individual sales contributors with a large pipeline (100s of deals) it becomes increasingly difficult to identify visually what deals require immediate action. I have yet to find strong options in hubspot to create visual cues to give attention to specific deals -- this is a gaping flaw imo that other less sophisticated crm’s such as [monday.com](http://monday.com) do well. Is there a way using developer code to customize the background color of a property? This would be an easy fix. Open to ideas. Thanks! Josh ---

Hi @JAliber, Not out of the box, no, but there is a workaround / compromise: using emojis. You can rename your property value labels to include 🟢, 🟡 and 🔴. ![karstenkoehler_0-1666794396307.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/37c2bfaaff9a2fe00d5226093dc59f44bb6d1c4a.png) That’s what it would look like on the deal index page: ![karstenkoehler_1-1666794504099.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/1/71e91929fc9734330cc4e37e44eb16e82389b45b.png) Best regards! ---

@JAliber This is a very commonly asked question and is not currently available in the account. BUT, you could use something like emojis in the properties 🟢 🟥 🟡. ---

Great question, @JAliber! Awesome recommendation from @karstenkoehler as well. I’m not sure if you’re using tasks currently, but those can be used to help identify high-priority action items and show the sales team what they need to work on. I would also recommend some pipeline automation to create tasks or send internal notifications if a deal has been stuck in a stage for too long, close date has passed, associated contact takes a specific action, etc. I know this isn’t specific to dashboard visuals, but it could help set priorities and expectations. Hope this helps!! ---

How about color-coding tags to show which ones are associated with worflows - is there a way to do that? ![deegeetee_0-1719946066544.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/1X/b05dbdde926b0cb6addbfec1d144da98d91f3149.png) ---

Hi @JAliber, Good news, HubSpot is introducing colors in properties! This is a currently private beta. You can check if you have access under Settings \> Product updates \> All product updates. (If not, you’ll have be patient for a bit longer.) > * * * > > CRM > > ### Apply colors to property options > > February 12, 2025 > > ### **What is it?** > > You can now apply colors to property options, enabling a more visually-driven, delightful experience in the CRM. ![karstenkoehler_2-1739424158335.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/6/b65dea362c1b6f80b61121d9ab994fc4df80586a.png) > ### **Why does it matter?** > > Property option colors make skimming an index page table or record page to get actionable insights easy and fast. For example, you can: > > - Apply red, yellow, or green dots to a custom ‘status’ property, so that users can immediately focus on blockers when viewing an index page table > - Color-code a default ‘type’ property such as lead type or deal type, so that you can quickly glance at a record and understand what category it falls into > > ### **How does it work?** > > Settings \> Properties \> Edit Property \> Field Type \> Option display mode ![karstenkoehler_3-1739424162584.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/6/067e06f12acb1e439011c9a72632b69fa8e6360f.png) > - For multi-value enumeration properties, users can choose ‘text inside colored tag.’ > - For single-value enumeration properties, users can choose the ‘text with colored dot’ or ‘text inside colored badge’ display options. > > Note: > > - Colors cannot be applied to > - pipeline stage properties (deal pipeline stage, contact lifecycle stage) > - deal pipeline or ticket pipeline properties. > > - Colors are not carried over to sync properties. > > ### **Who gets it?** > > All Hubs and Editions > > * * * Best regards! ---
