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

not sure, same issue here, red on red !

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?

I really want this!

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!

Please add this feature, it will make life much easier for plenty of people!

I run in to this problem everyday. I work with brands who have red as their main colour and it’s has slowed down my work significantly. I would love an option that allows me to change the colour, depending on what file I’m in.

Adobe Hello. When they come, don’t expect to be heard.

same issue here…

I’ve just run into this problem and it’s quite frustrating. I’m switching over from Photoshop and Sketch and Guides are an important part of my workflow especially both during the design process and also when I’m developing my designs.

@ksn what is the threshold of votes required to gain the attention and become a priority for the Figma dev team?

This should be a low-hanging fruit. But it only increases user satisfaction, not revenue, so…

How can this still not be a thing? 2021 was the first request.
Its obvious that this is needed… Please make this and improve the app instead of AI tools we don’t need.

Facing same issue

This is a complete #fail of UX for anyone lucky enough to be using the color red.

C’mon Figma fix the guides!

It’ll be 3 years of this thread waiting for you to pay attention next week—the SHAME.

A drop dead simple problem that has already been solved countless ways.
Allow users ability to change the guide color, click “ok” and move TF on.

Don’t reinvent the wheel, KISS. Talent borrows, genius steals.

The one below provides a simple, effective UI.
Here’s a color picker:

Git’r Done!!!

Yes this would be nice to have the ability to change colour of the guides and all guides on a page not just individual, global change for a project. I still can’t see a way too do this, please please implement this
