Color the board by value or by age

Tint each card by deal size or by how long it has sat in its stage, so the board answers a question at a glance.

1 min read · Published Jul 4, 2026

The kanban colors each card with a stripe down its left edge. Switch modes with the dropdown above the board: Color by Value, Color by Age, or No Color.

By value

The stripe is tinted by deal value across five tiers:

  • Under $1K: gray
  • $1K to $10K: green
  • $10K to $50K: blue
  • $50K to $100K: orange
  • $100K and up: purple

Use this to scan for your biggest deals without sorting or filtering.

By age

The stripe is tinted by days in the current stage across four tiers:

  • 0 to 7 days: green, fresh
  • 8 to 14 days: yellow
  • 15 to 30 days: amber
  • 31 days and over: red, stale

Use this to find deals that are slipping through the cracks. A deal sitting in Negotiation for weeks is usually a problem.

No color

No Color turns the stripe off for a plain board, which some teams prefer for stand-ups.

Turn on the Days in Stage card field alongside color by age, so the number is on the card as well as in the color.
