If you choose this option, the ‘Background’ color you set for specific event types displays as a label.

Example

 
 
 
Tasks Each task schedule has its own unique color.
Resources This uses the colors set up for each resource. See Resources.
Tasks / Resources Each task schedule will have a distinct color, with the schedule border color indicating the resource (the 'border' color set up for each resource. See Resources.)
Project All task schedules within the same project will have the same color.
Tasks / Projects Task schedules within the same project will have a shared background color, with unique border colors for each task.

Task Type label colors

You can also customize the task type label colors (similar to the above Example images) in Task Type settings. To display these, ensure you have the ‘Task Type’ schedule label set up as a 'Header Label'.
