New Blog Post! Match report colors with your company's style guide using text mode.

Do you have list reports or custom views that use conditional formatting, or column rules, so that a color can be applied to a specific row or cell? Did you know that you can use basic text mode to get those colors to match your company's style guide? There are a few places in Workfront where you can select a custom color: - Milestones - Custom Statuses, Priorities and Severities - Custom Chart Colors - Branding Colors When specifying a color in Workfront you have two choices: - Choose from the color palette, which will also give you the RGB code of the selected color - Use an existing RGB code (from your company's style guide, for example), to select a specific color Whether you select the color from a color palette in Workfront or find the RGB code in another application, you can use the RGB code in Workfront wherever an editable color code is found. NOTE: In Workfront, there is one place that uses an RGB color code but doesn't have a palette option, only eight standard colors. That's the conditional formatting feature in list reports, also known as column rules. In order to get the color associated with your column rule to match that of a chart, milestone, priority or your company's style guide, text mode must be applied. To learn how this can be done, or to share additional use cases, follow step by step instructions in the full post, located under Blogs or by clicking here. Nichole Vargas Workfront

Hi @nicholevargas , is there still a blog post detailing how to use text mode to change the color associated with a column rule in reporting?  The link in this post doesn't work anymore.  

Thank you!
