Allow turning off colors for initiatives and goals (or making them all the same color)

Probably the most common question I get from everyone in my org who uses Aha is: "what do the colors mean?". The fact that a random color is assigned by default to all goals and initiatives is not helpful at all and only confuses people.

Currently the only way I have to eliminate this confusion would be to go through every initiative and goal and change the color manually, which would be way too much work especially since new initiatives are being created all the time.

    I disagree. I use the colors all the time. When I have so many initiatives on the go, I use the color to ensure that I have a matching goal/s in the same color. Especially when I have to rollup the workspaces to the product lines and then to the product division.

    Definitely agree. When trying to create nice looking roadmaps and charts for executives, it's extremely frustrating that there are a bunch of initiative and goal icons in a weird teal color that I can't hide. It ends up making the roadmaps and charts look outdated and less professional.

    It might be nice to have it so it's automated.


    For example, in my company we have multiple products (workspaces) so it would be nice that when a feature or something is created in that workspace it gets a colour to represent the workspace aka the product.
