   You will be presented with a dropdown menu with various presets.

Unsure what the RGB values are for your desired colour?
You can use a colour picker to find out! While it is precise, you may see some slight variations between the colour displayed on the website and the colour displayed in the Classic application.

4. Limitations

When creating a Risk report, the following layout options can be enabled or disabled:

'Status Mapping' shows when you have the Current, Target or Original Risk Score field selected.

You can tick 'Text' or 'Background' to colour the appropriate part of the field to match the current risk RAG status.

This is designed to match the Risk Scores' default colour and will not reflect custom colours for that Risk score.

The default colours are:

• Alert - Red 
  
• High Risk - Amber 
• Warning - Yellow 
• OK - Green 
• Unknown - Blue
