How to Adjust Scorecard Color Accessibility in Ninety

Your Scorecard uses cell colors to show status at a glance, and you can choose how those colors appear from your own User Settings. If red and green are hard to tell apart, switch to the Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible) mode so that only off-track cells are highlighted. This is a per-user preference available to every user — Owner, Admin, Manager, Coach, Observer, or Team Member — and it changes only your view, never your teammates' Scorecards or any company setting.

What the Scorecard cell color modes do

The Scorecard cell color modes control whether on-track and off-track metrics are shown with color. By default, the Scorecard displays a red-and-green heatmap, which works well for most people but can be difficult to read for those who are color blind (about five percent of people), because the red and green can blur into a muddy mix.

You can choose between two modes:

Green, Red (Default): On-track cells show a green background and off-track cells show a red or pink background.
Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible): Only off-track cells show a red or pink background. On-track cells stay plain and uncolored, so you no longer rely on telling red from green.

How to change your Scorecard cell color preference

To change your Scorecard cell color preference, update the Scorecard setting on your User Settings Preferences page:

Click your name at the bottom of the left navigation.
Click User Settings.
Open the Preferences page.
Find the Scorecard section, labeled "Update your table cell color preferences."
Select either Green, Red (Default) or Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible). A preview shows how on-track and off-track cells will look.
Click Save Changes.

What changes in your Scorecard

After you save the Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible) mode, only the metrics that are off track are highlighted in red, which brings any issues into focus. On-track cells appear without a background color. Your selection applies to every Scorecard you view and takes effect right away.

This preference affects only your own view. It does not change how the Scorecard looks for anyone else, and it does not change the underlying data or scoring.

Frequently asked questions

Does this change my teammates' Scorecards?

No. Scorecard cell color is a per-user preference, so it changes only your view. Everyone else keeps their own setting.

Is Red-Only the same as color-blind mode?

Yes. Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible) is the color-blind mode for the Scorecard. It removes the green on-track color so you no longer need to distinguish red from green.

Can I turn off Scorecard colors entirely?

No. Some cell color is intentional so you can still spot status quickly. Choose Red-Only (Color-Blind Accessible) to keep only the red off-track highlight.
