+Some static choice fields on models can be configured with custom values. This is done by defining `FIELD_CHOICES` as a dictionary mapping model fields to their choices list. Each choice in the list must have a database value and a human-friendly label, and may optionally specify a color. (A list of available colors is provided below.)
 
 For example, to specify a custom set of choices for the site status field:
 
 ```python
 FIELD_CHOICES = {
     'dcim.Site.status': (
-        ('foo', 'Foo'),
-        ('bar', 'Bar'),
-        ('baz', 'Baz'),

+        ('bar', 'Bar', 'green'),
+        ('baz', 'Baz', 'blue'),
     )
 }
