Q: How do I colour-code scraps on the Junk Yard?

Click the small colour dot on a card and pick one of seven colours; the card takes on a soft matching tint, and its preview is tinted to match. Choose No colour to clear it again. Colours are a quick way to group related scraps — work, personal, a project — at a glance. You can also set the colour from the preview. Once a few scraps are coloured, you can filter by colour.

Short answer: Click the colour dot on a card and pick one of seven colours (or No colour to clear it). The card gets a soft matching tint, and you can then filter the board by colour.
