Hello,

when trying to rename labels that are colored in Gmail I receive the following error message:

ERROR: 400: Label color #ffad46 is not on the allowed color palette - invalidArgument

That's the GAM command I'm using:
gam user us...@domain.com update label search "^oldname" replace newname

Any idea how to solve this? Is it possible to change the color for all user labels?

Thanks

Christine,

Indeed that color is not allowed, so try this:
gam user us...@domain.com update labelsettings oldname backgroundcolor #ffad47 name newname

Ross,

thank you, is there any way to change the backgroundcolor for all user labels instead of updating one by one?

Christine,

Not that I know of, the API supports updating individual labels.
