FAQ

Does this plugin depend on any others?

Yes. Please install the WP Term Meta plugin.

Does this create new database tables?

No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.

Does this modify existing database tables?

No. All of WordPress’s core database tables remain untouched.

How do I query for terms via their colors?

With WordPress’s get_terms() function, the same as usual, but with an additional meta_query argument according the WP_Meta_Query specification:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Meta_Query

$terms = get_terms( 'category', array(
    'depth'      => 1,
    'number'     => 100,
    'parent'     => 0,
    'hide_empty' => false,

    // Query by color
    'meta_query' => array( array(
        'key'   => 'color',
        'value' => '#c0ffee'
    ) )
) );

Great

This plugin still work great. I use it all the time as it’s an easy to add option for client’s when they need to color code taxonomies. It even works great with Timber themes. You can easily add it to your templates in PHP using David Cavins’ example. If you are using a theme that is utilizing twig/Timber, you can grab the color in your for loop as easy as: {{ term.meta('color') }};

Works!

yet another good plugin

Another good and simple plugin that just does the job.

Works well with WP's new termmeta table

I needed to save colors for terms, and found that @jjj had already done the work. Accessing the saved colors is pretty straightforward using the new (WP 4.4 or newer) built-in utility function: $color = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'color', true ); The terms are saved in hex format (#eeee22) so are ready to use once retrieved. Thanks @jjj.
