Color Coding the Custom List Column with the Group By Column option in SP 2010


You can follow the below link to generate the code and follow the instructions. The below blog gives more information about the OOTB concepts also.
Color Coding Calenders or lists

Main Problem :
  • When any list item is expanded ,it was not effected with the color coding (fig.1).
fig.1



  • But after expanding the second list item, the first list item was effected with color coding instead of current expanded list item.This behaviour will continue untill the last list item (fig.2,3,4).
