Note Colour

What it does

Each note can be assigned one of 11 colours. The colour is shown as the note card's background in the list, plus a coloured left-edge stripe. Pinned notes without a colour use a light purple background.

How to use it

  1. Open a note in the editor.
  2. Tap the colour circle in the toolbar (rightmost control before the keyboard-hide button).
  3. The colour picker opens.
  4. Tap a colour to apply it. The note background and toolbar circle update immediately.
  5. The note auto-saves with the new colour.
  6. To remove a colour, open the picker and select the default (no colour / white) option.

Available colours:

Colour name Description
Aqua Mist Soft teal/cyan
Powder Blue Light lavender-blue
Pale Honey Light cream-yellow
Fresh Mint Light mint green
Rose Petal Light lavender-pink
Lavender Haze Light lavender-purple
Cloud Blue Light sky blue
Frosted Gray Light grey-blue
Peach Cream Light peach

Each colour also has a matching darker stroke colour shown as the left-edge stripe on note cards in the list.

Tips & shortcuts

  • Use colours to visually group notes by topic or project, e.g. blue for work, green for personal.
  • Pinned notes show a light purple background by default when no colour is set, applying any colour overrides this.
  • To clear a note's colour, select the default option (white) in the colour picker.
