Overview

Color-coding helps with data organization and visualization. You can easily highlight and communicate important information. 
For example, you can use different colors to represent completed, in-progress, or not-started tasks.  

You can color-code your projects in Timeline view by using the Color by Field option. You can use this option on any single select picklist type field. It can be a standard field such as Status or Priority or a custom field created by the user.
