Chart Color Schemes

Introduction

Chart color schemes allow you to select colors from a set of modern and unified color schemes. These color schemes are defined through the colorScheme parameter within each chart.

There are eight color schemes to choose from. You can also create your own custom color scheme using a!colorSchemeCustom within the colorScheme parameter. To configure a custom color scheme, enter valid hex codes or select colors from the color picker. Use a consistent color scheme for all charts in an interface.

To learn more about best practices for using colors in charts, see UX Charts Best Practices.

Chart series color

Aside from Classic, each color scheme has five colors. If there are more chart series than colors provided, the colors enumerate through the list again from the beginning.

You can still configure the colors of individual chart series when a color scheme is applied. Any series configurations will take precedence over the assigned color scheme colors.
