**Feature Request: Colored single-select values in grouped sections**

- When it comes to Airtable single and multi-selects, the color setting is mirrored by Noloco. If you use blue for a single select value for example, Noloco will use blue for the value’s color in the app.
- However, when you group data in a collection by a single-select, the grouped sections do not mirror the Airtable colors (see below).
- I’d love for “2024” and “July” to show as green rather than purple and teal-ish(?) respectively lol.

For what it’s worth, the colors currently are colored by depth, i.e. each top-level group will be that shade of purple, which helps people quickly see consistency.

However, we’re definitely considering supporting this, when grouping by Single Option fields.

For what it’s worth, you could consider using record-coloring to achieve a similar effect

Would love to have it supported by theme settings. Light → darker
