Color Groups paint 📝The Graph by meaning — write a rule like "tag is recipe, color it green" and every matching node takes that color, so the map's structure becomes legible at a glance. Instead of one flat sea of nodes, you see your own categories light up.
Key Capabilities
- Rule builder — color nodes by tag, title text, visibility, or creation date
- First match wins — rules apply in order; drag to reorder, and the first match colors the node
- Curated palette + custom hex — pick from ten swatches or enter any
#hexcolor - Everything else — unmatched nodes fall back to a neutral slate, counted separately
- Live legend — a dismissible legend shows each rule's color and how many nodes it matches
- Auto-save — rules save as you edit them, no separate save step
Getting Started
- Open the graph and add a color rule
- Pick a condition — Tag is, Title contains, Visibility is, or Created in — and a value
- Choose a color from the palette or type a hex code
- Add more rules and drag to reorder; the first matching rule wins
FAQ
- What can a rule match on? A tag, text in the title, the memo's visibility, or its creation date.
- What if a node matches two rules? The first rule in the list wins — drag rules to change priority.
- What colors unmatched nodes? A neutral slate labeled "Everything else," so you can see what your rules don't cover.
