Changing the default colors

You can define colors for branded apps in Organization Settings. Note that any changes to colors in a branded app requires the app to be re-uploaded to the app stores.

Applying colors based on specific conditions

Colors can be configured based on specific conditions. For example, a payment amount exceeding a certain threshold can be displayed in red. However, conditional color configurations are only available in areas that support conditions, such as list items. In contrast, direct color options are more widely supported, for example, lists allow both conditional and direct setups, whereas interactive-images only support direct options. Additionally, certain areas restrict the available color choices, while UI elements support the predefined set of fourteen colors.

  • When configuring the color property, select the color condition option.
  • Under the when property, add an expression that defines the condition under which the specified color should be applied.
