How do I set CARD COLORS in the new Jira layout?

How do I set CARD COLORS in the new Jira layout?  This is as of July 2025.

I want to set the card color 2 days after a field, "Dev Start Date" is set.  This field is the Developer Start Date.  Here is the field value: Jul 16, 2025

Hi @John_Alvin !
1. Open Board settings.


2. Click on Layout --> Card colors
3. Select method  "Queries" and add color 



And use your JQL.
I think it something like
"Dev Start Date" <= startOfDay(-2d) AND "Dev Start Date" >= startOfDay(-2d)

or

"Dev Start Date" IS NOT EMPTY AND "Dev Start Date" <= -2d

Note that setting Card Colors is not supported in the native board created automatically for Team Managed projects.
