How to view the Enum option color created in the Database, in the App view?

I have Dropdown Enum Column named Color which lists all the possible colors to choose from. I matched the color of the option to the text.

None of the color customization I setup in the Appsheet database, translated over to the view in the App. I only see the colors while viewing the database.

How can I get this to show the views?

There is little control available in the app UI when it comes to formatting. You will be able to achieve something similar to what you have above by using 'format rules' for each color i.e. setting the format rule as [Color]="Copper" and then choosing an icon with the appropriate color and/or changing the text color. This would need to be done for each color in your column. 

If you haven't used them before, format rules can be found in 'Views' section by hovering over it

Thanks for the reply. I was able to use format rules to get a matching colored circle in front of each color.
