Project categories in workspace settings
Categories group and filter projects, such as Marketing or Internal. You manage the list in Settings, and each category has a color so it stands out on the project list.

Best practices

- Pick distinct colors, because color is the quick visual cue in project lists.
- Delete only categories showing 0 in Associated Projects, because the effect on assigned projects is not documented.
