Custom color for interface design


Forum|alt.badge.img+8

I want to add custom color to my base. But I can see the 30 colors for my plan. Is that possible to add custom colors?
And one more thing is I'm unable to apply colors to the button for the interface workflow template. Is it possible to add colors to the fields and buttons?
When I create a new blank interface, I can add colors to buttons and some background colors to some elements the same does not apply to the workflow template.
Please guide me on this to achieve my requirements.
I appreciate any help you can provide.

I don't think custom colors are possible at this time I'm afraid

Buttons on Interfaces seem to have different functionality depending on the layout as well.  Buttons in "Record Review", "Record Summary" and "Blank" can have their colors picked from a list Airtable provides I believe, but I can't seem to find a way to change colors for buttons from layouts like "List", "Kanban" etc

Hi @TheTimeSavingCo 

Can we apply custom color to the base using custom extension?

Hi! I’m curious where you see 30 colors? I only see 5 and would love to use more.

Hey ​@Bharathy!

Not sure this might be of any help, but after an interesting post made by ​@TheTimeSavingCo, I went down a deep rabbit hole for making changes to Airtable’s limited UI.
 



On this video I go through how to make changes to background colors in Airtable interfaces as well as how to collapse sections. For sure it has limitations, but it might be useful. -note that changes are not applied to the base itself, so users not running the extension will not get these changes implemented on their end.
