Out of the box, HubSpot doesn't provide the ability to set colours in HubSpot properties. BUT, there is a relatively easy workaround - use colour emojis. How? Follow this example to set traffic lights for the health of your Sales Deals: 1. Navigate to an emoji web page, like [https://emojipedia.org/search/?q=circle](https://emojipedia.org/search/?q=circle). Keep this web page open in a tab on your web browser. 2. Navigate to HubSpot in a separate tab. 3. Navigate to the Properties settings. 4. Make sure you choose *Deals* from the drop down. 5. Click the \[Create property\] button. 6. Set the Group that the field belongs to and the Label to *Deal Health*. 7. Click the \[Next\] button. 8. Choose *Radio select* in the Field type drop down. 9. Enter the following: NOTE: To add the coloured circle, navigate back to the tab with the emoji web page, click the colour you want to display, and click the \[Copy\] button ![](https://blog.ucidity.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=206&height=147&name=image-png-1.png) Add the following options, using the trick above: ![](https://blog.ucidity.com.au/hubfs/image-png.png) 10. Click the \[Save\] button. 11. Add the Property to your Deals board (you will need to be in Kanban view, not List view). That's it, you will now have instant Sales Deal traffic lights!
