I have configured a repeating view for the pagelist and for the each row header given some property for each record. in the run time the different fancy colors are added for the row header. we dont want the colors for row headers.
Is there any way?
@SreenivasuluV16633502 That’s a great question, and you’ve correctly identified one of the helpful, built-in features of the Constellation design system. The behavior you are seeing is intentional and designed to provide at-a-glance status indicators to users. Pega’s UX design system follows the international WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines to make software accessible. This means it uses patterns and components designed to be easy for everyone.

Could I ask why are you trying to remove this? Is there something that has been raised during user testing or accessibility testing?
I do not believe you can control this without building your own DX Component, SDK front end and/or possibly, using Design Tokens*. However, would be curious to understand other’s experience in this space, it is new for '25.
__*__Assuming this is an acceptable extension. but remember it an immportant best practice to void using design tokens / custom CSS to override behaviour. While technically possible, it fights against the design system, makes your application harder to maintain, and can lead to unexpected results during upgrades. The correct approach is always to configure the view to use the desired component.
Hi @SreenivasuluV16633502 The colors were introduced to provide a visual distinction of grouped data. It is more a visual queue similar to alternating row colors within a table. The colors themselves do not have meaning. If you have a large number of repeating data, it can be difficult for a user to focus within one section. This allows for improved readability and scannability of data as well as reduces cognitive load for users. I hope this explanation helps.
Hi @PowerJill, @MarcCheong Thanks for the response.
As per the organization brandings recommendations, not to have multi colors, So we are looking to keep it one standard color for all. Can you please help me out if there is any way to achieve this.
