# Change a mail's highlight colour

For a mail that one of your colour rules has highlighted, open it and click **Set Color** in the bar at the bottom. Pick any colour in the colour picker. The new colour is used for that mail in the mail list. **Set Color** appears only on mails that already have a rule colour.

## How to change a mail's highlight colour

1. Open a mail that is highlighted by a colour rule.
2. Click **Set Color** in the bar at the bottom of the mail.
3. Pick a colour. The mail is shown in that colour from now on.

## When to use it

> Meera's rule colours all client mail orange. When a mail from her most important client arrives, she changes its colour to red so it stands out in the list.

## Good to know

- To colour mail automatically as it arrives, create a colour rule first.
- You can search for mails by their colour.
