Color column: how to set the background to transparent

I have view that has an image background. I also use color columns in the same view. In certain conditions I need the background of the row to be transparent. If I use 0 or “” the preceding color column applies. How do I set the color column to make the rest of the row transparent?

try -1:-1:-1 for the background colour

And don’t get fooled by the fact, that Designer will show the column value as -1 : 1 : -1. That’s a long standing (display) bug that doesn’t influence functionality.

Thanks Davies and Harkpabst - it worked. I am hiding the column so no problem with displaying the value
