You can [assign](#assign-a-color-to-an-environment) specific colors to define an environment and its intended purpose, such as development, staging, or production. ![Environment colors in Postman](https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/v12/environment-colors-v12.png) ## Assign a color to an environment Assign colors to your environments to help users find the right environment to use for testing or use cases. These color assignments persist when you copy, fork, or move the environment into a new workspace. To assign a color, do the following: 1. Click Items icon **Items** in the sidebar. 2. Click **Environments** then select an environment.

Next to the environment's name, click the color placeholder. 4. Select a color from the existing options, or click Add icon, then use the slider to select the desired color. The custom colors you select are saved for later use. You can create up to six custom colors. Any additional colors you create replace the oldest color you've created. 5. Click anywhere outside of the color selector to apply your changes. When you select the environment, Postman displays the color prominently in the [environment selector](/docs/getting-started/basics/navigating-postman/#environment-selector-and-variables-pane). ## Manage environment color To edit an environment's color, do the following: 1.
