Branches with the Enterprise Scheduling module, have the ability to customise their project's task colour display when viewing their schedule by the Task List, Task Gantt, and Task Calendar views.  Branch, Site Manager, and Site Staff users, will see the customised colours, while contractors and clients (with access to see the schedule tasks) will see the standard task status colours of grey, purple, green and blue.
