Notion add new feature to color code your database pages
Notion introduces a new feature that can help you color-code your Notion database. With this feature, you can give a different color to different properties. You can now directly color your database to group and organize your database according to your needs.
It’s just like Excel’s color code feature, where you give color to cells and columns, but here you give color to pages in a Notion database. Notion calls this new feature—Conditional Color
How to access Conditional Color
You can easily access this feature in your database. Here are the steps you can follow to find this feature.
- Go to your Notion database
- Click on the database settings
- Click on “Conditional Color”
With this feature, you can conditionally apply color to your notion properties, categorize, highlight overdue events, and visually see your work progress.
How to use the Conditional Color feature
Here is the step-by-step tutorial for adding this feature to your Notion database. You can see an in-depth tutorial on the conditional color feature.
- Go to your Notion database where you want to add this feature
- Go to the settings of the Notion database
- Click on “Conditional Color”
- Again, click on “Add color setting”, now you can add color to any of the properties from your database
- Click on the property you want to color code
- Add details, and you have the database color code
From the example, let’s say I want to add this feature to the “Star rating” property; you can see the result below.
