App Status Custom Colors

Customizing your app status colors can help making things stand out, color-code statuses to common colors, like setting Approved status to green (meaning positive, good, go) and Expired status to red (negative, bad, stop), etc.

This will also help meet requirements for ADA/WCAG AA Compliance: elements must meet min color contrast ration thresholds. To ensure the color you would like to use meets the contrast standards, use this suggested tool to enter the color code and then results will provide similar colors that will comply (or if the selected color will comply).
