EnvironmentColor - System Parameter
EnvironmentColor sets the colour of the Web Client header bar, next to the environment name from EnvironmentName. Use a different colour per environment so users always see which Nodinite instance they are working in (see Menu - Environment).

Three environments with different header colours, so users can tell them apart at a glance.
How It Works
The value applies to every User of the instance; it is not set per user. Enter a HEX colour code, for example #c33d34. The HTML colour picker helps you find one.

Choosing a Value
Pick one colour scheme for all your environments and use it consistently:
| Environment | Suggested colour | Why |
|---|---|---|
PROD |
Red, e.g. #c33d34 |
Signals caution: live data |
Test, QA |
Blue or green, e.g. #2678BD |
Calm, clearly not production |
Demo |
Orange, e.g. #E47528 |
Draws attention |
Dev |
Grey | Neutral |
- Use a distinct, high-contrast colour for production and neutral colours elsewhere.
- Keep the header text readable: avoid very light colours.
- Leave the value empty to use the standard header colour.
