When I go to the browser to enter a hex code to change the colors it works. But when I go into the app all the colors are way darker then what I entered. Why is this happening? I enter bright colors and it works but not in the app.
Hi @TeagenWhite,
Just for clarity, do you mean you're trying to change the colors of the course cards on the Canvas dashboard? Once you change the color, you're seeing it display differently on the web tan it does on the Canvas app for your phone?
If the above is correct, my first suggestion would be to make sure the Canvas app is up to date. The second would be to ensure you're using "light mode" and not "dark mode" in the app, as I do believe Dark mode may now be adjusting colors in come cases to provide better contrast between a dark background and some colors. Finally, you could try uninstalling the Canvas app completely, and the redownloading it and logging back in. Occasionally there are times where something just gets "stuck" and a full reinstall gets everything back to normal again.
Hope this helps!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
