1. Access Sage 300 Database Setup

To get started with color coded companies in Sage 300, you must first click on your Window’s Start Menu. Head over to All Programs and select Sage.

Next, select Sage 300 and click on Database Setup.

Enter the Admin Password.

2. Edit Company Colors

You will now see that there is a Color column next to the Database ID column. You will also notice that you have the option to Assign Colors Automatically, as well as Clear All Colors.

Click on the company that you wish to color-code and select Edit.

Under Company Color click on Select Color to chose your desired shade. Click Ok.

*Note: If you want the natural Windows look then don't select any color. 

3. View Company Database

Once you’ve assigned colors to the databases you wish to color-code, open up one of your color-coded databases in Sage 300.

You will notice right away that the Windows title bar and border have been changed to your choice of color. Even the preview windows that appear when you hover over the task bar icons have been color-coded.

And that’s all there is to it! Now you know how to change a company’s color in Sage 300 Version 2012.
