I would like to be able to manually change the background color of individual Cards (or multiple Cards) in Board view, in order to easily visually distinguish between cards types. I currently have to use Tags for this but Tags significantly increase the height of the Card.

I like all my cards to remain compact single row height if possible, so I can maintain an overview of all my Cards in one view without scrolling up/down. I do not want these background colors to have to be related to Clickup Status' or Date, etc. I don't use the Board Columns for Card Status.

I have my own Board system where each column is a Project (Cards are stages of the Project). I use the Board as a horizontal (side-by-side) overview of all my Project. I want the card background colors to allow me to distinguish between cards I'm working on "This-Week, Next-Week, Someday, etc".

Michael Van Doorn This request has many variations and is a real necessity for people to be able to view their Board in the most efficient way.

Personally, being able to colour by Custom field is my need. But Status and Priority are also really useful applications of this kind of funct

ionality.

Fundamental feature requirement.. (7 years and waiting)

I used to use rectangular sticky notes in a kanban style to keep track of tasks analog.

Agreed here, would love the option to toggle on card background color for each status color..

Great idea! We would like that too.

Also, the background of past due tasks on Kanban view potentially be red so it can be a visual emphasis on them.

This is a great idea.
