Color Formatting Reference

This article discusses color options for the user interface.

Text Font Colors

Text color formatting is applicable to tables and headline reports only.

You can display report metric values in one of the following colors by inserting the color, between brackets [ ], at the start of the custom number syntax. For example:

[Blue]#,#.## 

Available color codes:

  • Black
  • Blue
  • Cyan
  • Green
  • Magenta
  • Red
  • Yellow
  • White

You can also use hexadecimal color codes with the following syntax:

[color=99AE00]#,#.##

Cell Background Color

You can use hexadecimals to change the background color of cells with the following syntax:

[backgroundcolor=00FF00]#,#.##

To combine background color and font color syntax:

[color=99AAEE][backgroundcolor=000000]#,#.##
