status tag colors with ActiveAdmin

Better to go with custom class approach

status_tag 'TAG', class: 'class'

In the repo you can see that only a few colours are available, namely green, orange and red.

.status_tag {
  background: darken($secondary-color, 15%);
  color: #fff;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  letter-spacing: 0.15em;
  padding: 3px 5px 2px 5px;
  font-size: 0.8em;

  &.ok, &.published, &.complete, &.completed, &.green { background: #8daa92; }
  &.warn, &.warning, &.orange { background: #e29b20; }
  &.error, &.errored, &.red { background: #d45f53; }
}

If you want to add new ones, you will have to edit your active_admin.css.scss like so

body.active_admin {
  .status_tag.blue { background: #63B8FF; }
}

We can override ActiveAdmin status_tag (Yes/No) style classes by defining our own style classes inside your active_admin.scss. I'm using ruby '2.5.3'. I just wanted to style my Yes/No status_tags in different colors instead of default gray and this worked for me.

body.active_admin {
        .status_tag.yes {
                background: #a9c68d;
        }
}

body.active_admin {
        .status_tag.no {
                background: #b3b3b3;
        }
}

Now my dashboard looks like this.
