See also: Chart Color Schemes

Parameters

Name	Keyword	Types	Description
Colors	Colors	Text	List of colors to use in the custom color scheme. Valid values: any valid hex colors or hex color including transparency. Maximum colors allowed: 12. To add transparency to the hex color, add two additional digits between 00 (more transparent) and FF (less transparent).

Usage considerations

Series colors

If there are more series than colors provided, the colors enumerate through the list again from the beginning.
Users can still configure the colors of individual chart series while using a custom color scheme. Any series configurations will take precedence over automatically assigned color scheme colors.

Examples

To experiment with examples, copy and paste the expression into an interface object.

Use the interactive editor below to test out the example code.

a!pieChartField(
  label: "Opportunity Sources",
  labelPosition: "ABOVE",
  series: {
    a!chartSeries(label: "Other", data: 10),
    a!chartSeries(label: "Website", data: 20),
    a!chartSeries(label: "Client Referrals", data: 30)
  },

    colors: {"#05286B", "#379683", "#5CDB95"}
  ),
  showDataLabels: true,
  showAsPercentage: true
