You can change the colors used in a chart.

To change the colors used in a chart, use the color picker on the chart styles panel. You can set colors for:

  • bars, lines, areas, bubbles, maps, and other visuals on charts
  • legends on charts
  • tables for conditional formatting
  • tags and editing the colors

To change the chart colors, you need at least one column in the chart’s legend. If the chart does not have a legend (not all do) and it is a single-measure chart, you can apply a conditional format to change the color. This type of conditional formatting does not work with Line charts.

Colors are maintained across searches within a session. For example, when doing a search on revenue by state, each state will keep its color assigned to it even if you change the search or chart type.

  2. On the chart, click the color icon of the label or legend value you would like to change the color of.
