+# Distinguish Sessions With Different Colors
+
+I sometimes have several Claude Code sessions open at once. As I bounce between
+tmux windows, it can sometimes be tricky to tell them apart at a glance. One way
+that Claude Code can help with this is with some light styling. You can change
+the accent color of a session with the `/color` command.
+
+Run it as is and it will choose a random color to set the session to.
+
+Or you can pick from any of the available colors which it will give you a hint
+for if you type a space after `/color`.
+
+```
+/color [red|blue|green|yellow|purple|orange|pink|cyan|default]
+```
+
+I can run the following to set it to cyan:
+
+```
+/color cyan
+```
+
+More details on this kinds of commands can be found in the [_Commands_
+docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands).
