Chrome tab group colours explained — all eight, with hex values

Chrome tab group colours explained — all eight, with hex values

Direct answer

Chrome allows exactly eight tab-group colours: blue, red, yellow, green, pink, purple, cyan and grey. You cannot add a ninth or set a custom hex. Flocci Tabs assigns them automatically — first by domain hint, then by a rotation that avoids repeating a colour already visible nearby.

Step by step

  1. Right-click a tab, choose “Add tab to new group”, then pick one of the eight colours.
  2. Note that Chrome offers no custom colours — the palette is fixed at eight.
  3. Install Flocci Tabs to have the colour chosen for you from 14 built-in domain hints.
  4. Override any hint from the options page if you want GitHub blue instead of purple.
