How to Change the Text Color for a Column in a List View

In Odoo it is possible to change the color or text style of a column in a list view using the “decoration” attributes.

The syntax for them is decoration-<style>​ where the style can be one of the following options:

• Color: info​, warning​, danger​, muted​, primary​ and success​
• Text style: bf​ (bold) and it​ (italic)

The color that each of the color-styles represents can be seen in the image below:

These attributes, as most of the Odoo attributes in the views, accept as a value python-based condition. The style is displayed when the condition is evaluated as boolean True​. In case when the color need to be applied to the column without condition the value can be simply set to 1​ or True​

An example of using the attributes in the view is shown below:

<field name="state" decoration-success="state == 'posted'" decoration-info="state == 'draft'"/>

In case the attributes are used together with the attribute widget="badge"​ then the color will apply as a background color of the badge.
