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. Take a look at the screenshot.

  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
    Guidelines have low visibility near similarly colored objects

  2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
    Previously requested here but was closed for some reason: Ability to change the guides colours

  3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Hey @Joey_Figaro - just FYI, I merged your new topic with the older one. The reason it was automatically closed was because it had gone over 30 days with no new votes/activity/requests/etc. I went ahead and reopened it for you.

Hi, this would really great idea, infact we should have the capability to manage Guide at Global level (i.e. for all guides in a project) or for an individual guide too.

This would make life much more easier by choosing contrasting colors for guides

Has this been implemented? I’m running into the same issue where the red guideline is blending with my design and it’s really hard to see it.

Thanks

I would also add a way to select multiple guides or remove all of them (Clear guides Illustrator). It is annoying by pulling one after another one to the ruler.

Oh come on, Figma! How hard could it be to implement colour override?

Yes please, my brand colour is identical to the guide so it’s physically impossible to see it - have to snap and hope for the best!
