# Record Colors

Record coloring allows you to quickly distinguish between records, without expanding all the details. Record coloring is useful for things like:

* **Overdue Tasks**: Highlight tasks that are overdue and not marked as complete in bright red.
* **Upcoming Deadlines**: Highlight tasks that have a due date within the next three days and are not marked as complete in yellow.
* **Completed Tasks**: Highlight completed tasks with a neutral gray, making other records stand out in comparison.
