tintboard

Tintboard for Jira

Your admin chooses label, status, column and card colours once. Everyone sees them on boards, the backlog, list view, search results and the issue view, on company- and team-managed projects.

Needs the free Tintboard browser extension for Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Without it, people still see the colour legend in each issue.

A Jira board with coloured column titles, labels, tinted bug cards and striped stories
Board: column titles, labels and card rules.
A Jira backlog with coloured statuses and tinted rows
Backlog: statuses and the same card rules.

Label colours

Any label, from a 12-colour accessible palette or your own hex colour. Text colour is chosen for readable contrast.

Status colours

A colour per workflow status, beyond Jira's grey, blue and green, in the issue view, backlog, list and search.

Column colours

A coloured bar and tint on each board column's title, or reuse your status colours in one click.

Card colour rules

Label, status, priority, issue type, component, epic or parent, summary text, assignee, "assigned to me", overdue, due within N days or not updated for N days. First match wins; tint or stripe; one board or all.

Work-in-progress limits

Set a limit per column: its title turns red when it holds more cards.

Ready-made schemes

Scrum basics, Support team or Bugs first: a coloured board in two minutes. Includes a colour-blind-safe palette.

Issue view comfort

A narrow details panel, or hide it and keep only the status. Admins set the default; each person can change it.

Colour legend

A "Colours" button on every board explains what each colour means, and a legend panel in each issue works even without the extension.
