By default, each task's bar on the Gantt chart takes the color of the resource assigned to it. You can give any task a custom color instead.

  1. Double-click the task to open Task Properties.

  2. On the Details tab, find Color By next to Assign To.

  1. Click the pencil icon next to Color By.

  2. Choose Custom, pick a color and click Save.

  3. Click Save Task.

To go back to resource colors for every task, make sure View > Color Tasks by Assigned Resource is ticked.
