Hello,  
Apologies for asking a (probably very basic and obvious) question 🙈 But I'm a bit of a beginner here and was wondering where do I find the prodigy.json file that will let me change the colours in NER manual etc?  
Thanks very much 🙂

No worries! 😃 When you first run Prodigy, it will create a folder `.prodigy` in your user home directory and the `prodigy.json` will be in there. If you're on a Mac, that path would then be something like `~/Users/you/.prodigy/prodigy.json`. You can also run `prodigy stats` on the CLI to find the location of your Prodigy home directory.

(Because it starts with a `.`, the Prodigy home directory is a hidden folder, so depending on your operating system, you might have to enable hidden files/folders to view the directory in your finder/explorer etc.)
