Color of bars in Gantt chart

Hello, I see a lot of questions, for many years already about the option to give the bars in the gantt chart different colors. At the moment this is only possible by changing the status, but that would be a workaround.

The decision to get our company a membershop on Wrike depends on whether this option becomes available soon. I think it's a very basic option.. At the moment the Gantt charts have wonderful options and are fully customizable, but unreadable for different teams.

See the screenshot enclosed. The main group has the same color of the sub items what makes reading difficult.


It would be nice if there are options to change these colors manually.  It would be great if, for example, colored tags that I created through a custom field, would be visible in the Gantt chart.

In this way people (authors, image editors, project managers, etc.) can easy see where they are needed in the timeline. Like this screenshot from the tool Tom's Planner:
