 * Hey,
    I want to add a Color Selector Field to a custom Taxonomy, so I’ll be able
   to associate a color with each Term I add to the Taxonomy. I.e. the color selector
   should appear in the “Add New Term” Dialog. [http://imgur.com/SOlg10M](http://imgur.com/SOlg10M)
 * My use case is: I have a custom type “Project” and each project is assigned a
   term from the custom “Category” Taxonomy. The color associated with the term 
   will be used in the front end for borders and highlights on the project thumbnails,
   depending on their category.
 * Is something like that at all possible with Types?

 * Hi john,
 * It is not possible within Types, you can try other plugins, for example:
