Color your Airtable
cells and rows.
Like Excel does.
Airtable doesn't let you color individual cells or rows. Cell Coloring adds that: select anything, pick a color, done. Colors stick through sorting, filtering, and view changes.

What it does
Everything Airtable's
coloring should have been
Cells and rows
Color individual cells or paint entire rows in one click. Use rows to flag priority, cells to call out specific values: or both together.
Colors that survive everything
Sort the table, filter down to ten rows, switch views: your colors follow the records. They don't reset. They don't disappear.
Multi-select support
Use Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click, or drag to select a range. Color twenty rows at once in the same action.
15 presets or any hex
Pick from 15 preset colors or enter any hex code for pixel-perfect brand color matching. Pro users get quick access to recently used colors.
How to use it
Five steps.
Thirty seconds.
Once the extension is installed, coloring is always one right-click away.
Install and sign in
Add Cell Coloring from the Chrome Web Store. Sign in with your email to activate: takes about 30 seconds.
Open any Airtable table
Navigate to any table in your Airtable workspace. The extension activates automatically: nothing to configure.
Select what you want to color
Click a single cell, or use Ctrl+Click / Shift+Click to select multiple. Drag across a range to select in bulk.
Choose cells or entire rows
Click "Color Cell(s)" to highlight just the selected cells. Click "Color Row(s)" to apply the color across the entire record.
Pick your color
Choose from 15 presets, use a recent color (Pro), or type in any hex code. The color applies immediately.
What people say
Teams that finally
see their data
We manage a project tracker for 12 clients. Red for blocked, amber for at risk, green for on track. I can scan the entire board in two seconds now instead of reading every status field.
The thing that sold me was that colors survive sorting. In every other workaround I tried, the colors broke the moment I reordered the table. These don't. That alone makes it worth it.
I run inventory in Airtable. Red cells mean low stock, green means fully stocked. My whole team picked it up in five minutes: no training needed. Just look at the color and act.
