Hi Wong, 

The color of the bar in the Gantt chart correlate with the workflow status. 

IE if you have "New Tasks" in your Workflow as light blue, then the bar in the Gantt chart will be light blue. 

I have attached a screenshot to reference!

@Robert Hi, I'll just add a little info on the Project/Folder bars on the Gantt Chart 🙂Folder bars will always be black on the Gantt Chart; they also have a small folder sign, like on @Devon's screenshot.
A Project bar's color depends on the Project status 
 
 
Please let me know if that helped 👍

Yes, but is it possible to add custom colors to that extremely short list?  It would be nice to have the option of color coding a project's roll up by assignee rather than overall status so that one could visually represent team workload laid out in gantt view.

I would like to assign a separate colour to each project also. It is more user friendly.

Hi Chris Chun, welcome to the Community 🙂

You can apply colors to the projects like this:

The Gantt Chart, however, will still show the project's color according to the project status. We've recently released custom statuses for projects ( available for Business and Enterprise subscriptions) - there are now a lot more options than green, red or yellow. More info on our Help Center:

Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

I am also requesting better color customizing. We are considering using a different SAAS product because we can't do this very simple thing.

Hello @... - What's being requested is the ability to change colors of Gantt bar charts to correspond to Assignee or Project.

Thanks!

Wrike is so great, this is another baffling exclusion. Here's our issue: When I look at the Gantt Chart, it's very difficult to tell WHO is working on a given item. I'd love to color our bars by assignee, not by status. I can't fathom why this isn't an option.

Juan -

What did the team say?  Changing bar colors based on any number of criteria seem like a basic need.  Please advise as to status of these numerous requests.  Thank you in advance.

Hi David Parks, welcome to the forum!

We didn't receive an update from the team yet which means it's not on the roadmap at the moment. We'll continue sending all new feedback from this discussion to them and we'll share any updates if we have them in the future. 

Is Gantt Chart the feature you're using the most in Wrike?

What does it take to get an enhancement on the roadmap? I too find this to be an absolute need for our projects. (Gantt bar color to correlate to the team assigned to the task.) Thanks!

The ability to control the gantt bar colors based on assignee is critical to the usability of the gantt chart feature. We need it for capacity planning. When will this enhancement be available?

Hey,

What's new about this?

We're actually on trial. And this small item might be a no-go for us. We have to give the gantt chart to each company we work with, and they need to have a real quick reading of it.

We are actually  creating new status names with different trades for each companies.
