How to Change Color of Epic in Jira

Updated on:
May 11, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize your Epic's color in the Jira timeline.

Quick summary

Changing the color of an Epic in Jira lets teams instantly distinguish between epics on the timeline and in the backlog. You can update an Epic's color in just a few clicks directly from the Jira timeline view, and the change applies immediately across all associated issues.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your project and open the timeline. Hover over the Epic's name and click on it.
  2. Click on the colored square next to the Epic's name to open the color palette.
  3. Select the new color you want to assign to the Epic.
  4. Confirm that the Epic's color updates immediately once the new color is selected.
  5. Verify that the new color is now visible on the Epic in the backlog and across all issues associated with that Epic.

📌 Why this matters

Color-coding Epics in Jira is a simple but powerful way to improve visual project management across teams. By assigning distinct colors to each Epic, project managers and developers can instantly identify work streams on the timeline and in the backlog without reading every label. This feature reduces cognitive load during sprint planning and backlog grooming, making it easier to track progress at a glance. For teams managing multiple parallel workstreams in Jira, Epic color customization is a quick win that directly improves planning efficiency and team alignment.
