Hello there,

I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides and familiar to some colour. Please help me how to change the guideline colour like black, blue green and any other dark colour

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, it’s not possible to change the guideline colors. One of the possible alternatives is using Layout Grid.

Figma Learn - Help Center

You can change the grid color if you want. I hope this works for you.

Thanks for your patience!

Ok Thanks for your opinion. Please let me know by when can I expect the ruler colour change.

I think it’s a good idea to set the color of the ruler so that we can change the color of the ruler according to our own preferences, or the development team can set several different colors for us to choose from!

This app has become so ridiculous. They want to say they are the premiere tool for UX design — by providing the worst possible UX for designers.

Don’t worry. Figma will release 10 new “AI” features none of us want, but they will never fix basic functionality issues like changing the color of a guide — something that you’ve been able to do in Photoshop since the day guides were introduced to the product.
