For example: when using two different Metrics in two separate Pie Charts and both Metric contain the same list of Dimensions/Attributes, it sometimes allocates a different color to the same Dimensions.

User would like to manually set colors for each dimension. He wants to be able to change colors on the Pie Chart independently of the board. For example, one pie is red and blue, the other yellow and orange.

Owais Qureshi

Customer would like to have more customizable color options for each Dimension on Charts.

Luc Boeke

User has requested to have more control over colors on Bar charts.

Milica Novak

Use case:
Customer would like to have ability to change Dimensions' colors to be red for negative values and green for positive values.

Milos Vukotic

Customer would like to have a better control over Dimension colors on a graph, so that they could be uniformly displayed across multiple Datablocks/Databoards.

It's fantastic that this is planned! We definitely want control over selecting colors on the bar or line graph. It would help a ton!

Another use case:
Customer uses a Bar Chart, and he wants to show the negative values (bars) in red, and the positive values (bars) in green.
And in general, would like to be able to set bars in Bar Charts manually.

It'd help with the adoption of stakeholders - the ease of comprehension/use of the Databoards.
You don't want someone to look at different Databoard's blocks and have to think about the different values with varying colors per block.

Merged with: Keep the same color scheme in Pie Chart, no matter the size of the categories

Luc Boeke

Hi Databox,

Working with multiple Pie Chart visuals in a Databoard is a great way to compare various periods, for ex last month vs the actual month or current quarter vs the same quarter a year ago.
Comparisons between these periods however are sometimes tricky. That is, when a category has the largest share in the pie in period 1, but no longer so in period 2 - the color of the category will then change!
Would it not be better to assign a dedicated color to a category, no matter the size of its share in the pie?

Thanks for looking into this, and all who vote for this item a big word of thanks to you!

Best from Zürich,
Luc

Sandra

Merged with: Stacked chart uniform colors

Nikola Lucic

Uniformed color for the Dimensions throughout Datablocks on a Databoard.
If we are using the same Dimensions in different stacked graphs, it would be much easier to compare them if they are of a same color. Each Dimension is represented by a unique color.

Indeed, changing colors to all kind of visualizations are quite handy, cause e.g. Gauges can mean something good, or bad. Therefore, the color can be very misleading.

Jasper Middendorp

Our use case:
We work with a lot of products that have specific colors and would be great to be able to visualize our inventory along the actual product colors.
