Chord Color Customization

I love Hookpad…but please, can I request that the V chord be the same as Boomwhacker colors? In other words, a dark green/teal color.

My students love to jam along to different chord progressions but we always have to tell them that the fifth scale degree on Hookpad is blue, while theirs is green. Or is there a way to customize the chord colors?

Adjustable palettes would be a welcome addition.

While this is surely subjective and monitor dependent, to my eyes the colors do not appear evenly spaced. Uneven spacing could help visualize whole tone and semitone intervals, but the current palette is all over the place. Light and dark mode are different too, with light mode having a wide gap between IV and V (in major) and dark mode having a large gap between V and vi.

Reviving an old thread, and adding myself to the group of people wanting boomwhacker colors in Hookpad. It would make it 10x more useful for my students, who have this color code on all xylophones, glockenspiels, pianos, etc. in the music room

Thanks for bumping this up! I added the color palette so it now can look like this:

This will be live after the next update. The only “problem” is that the color will fit only in projects in C-Major as Hookpad’s colors are relative to the key. There is no simple way to change this behavior so you’ll have to check the song key yourself. But nevertheless I thought it might be useful to add the Boomwhacker color palette.

Regards!
