Format Rules Question - Color Icon Only?

[mykrobinson]

having a little trouble with a formatting rule and want to confirm if this is even possible before i pull my hair out trying. either this is not possible currently or i am approaching it wrong.

I want to have a certain color icon appear next to a certain field if certain criteria is met. Is it possible to color the icon but not the text? I see the highlight color and text color options but in this case i simply want to add the chosen icon to the line and color it independently of the other elements, if that makes sense.

for example, i have existing format rules that have the text colored blue, can i add a yellow smiliey face icon inline?

in my testing, it seems that having multiple format rules causes issues in that all icons end up taking on the same color. I hope one of you proves me wrong.

All icons in the same column can only be a single color. The icon color can be different than the text color.

thanks for the confirmation.

Hey Marc - I'm wondering if allowing icons to be formatted in different colors for the same column has been explored further. I imagine it would be super helpful in many use cases, including mine.

@ttryon Hi, This was discussed somewhere in another topic somewhere but I can't remember where.

On desktop the different colours display on different icons but not on mobile, the primary leading icons colour will prevail...
