# Row color option
> [HTML Version](rowcoloroption.htm)
_cformat_ code: **c**
Identical to **C**, except that it takes effect starting from the first visible column even if the color definition column is not the first column. This is a workaround for a limitation in which trying to make the first defined column invisible does not always work. (XTREE seems determined to make the first column reappear.)
