Understand how you can use color with nodes
You can keep track of significant nodes or relationships by giving them a color.
You can assign a color to a node to visually distinguish it in coding stripes and in visualizations such as charts. For example, the node rising sea level could have a blue coding stripe and a blue pie chart segment.
You can sort your nodes in List View based on color—refer to Customize the workspace for more information.
You can also use Advanced Find to find nodes of a specific color.
