+It provides attributes on fields with the same syntax as the 'colors' attribute
+in tree tags.
+

+value as color.

 Usage
@@ -45,7 +51,23 @@ Usage
     
     With this example, column which renders 'name' field will have its text colored in white.
 
+* In the tree view declaration, use color_field="color" attribute in the tree tag::
+
+    ...
+    <field name="arch" type="xml">
+        <tree string="View name" color_field="color">
+            ...
+            <field name="color" invisible="1" />
+            ...
+        </tree>
+    </field>
+    ...
 
+    With this example, the content of the field named `color` will be used to
+    populate the `color` CSS calue. Use a function field to return whichever
+    color you want depending on the other record values. Note this this
+    overrides the `colors` attribute, and that you need the tree to load your
+    field in the first place by adding it as invisible field.
