The `Color` field formatter enables you to specify colors with specific ranges of values for a numeric field.

When you select the `Color` field formatter, Kibana displays the *Range*, *Font Color*, *Background Color*, and *Example* fields.

Click the *Add Color* button to add a range of values to associate with a particular color. You can click in the *Font Color* and *Background Color* fields to display a color picker. You can also enter a specific hex code value in the field. The effect of your current color choices are displayed in the *Example* field.
