    The getColor method returns an instance of IColorInfo.

     

    To fix the issue you should return an object like this:

     

    {
  value: "#ED1C24"
}

This is the old way of building packages that no longer supported. Instead of gulp Custom Visuals use PBIVIZ nowadays.

 

We'd recommend to contact [email protected] and [email protected] who owns source code.

Probably he will share the updated code that uses PBIVIZ.

 

Otherwise, you would need to convert code to PBIVIZ format by yourself.

Hi v-viig - thank you for the reply.  I have reached out to Enlighten.

 

Will then either convert the visual from the legacy format to the new format, or edit the pbiviz.json file (its a minor color change).

 

Do you know what format the colour is returned in json:

 

var m = e.getColor(h.toString());

I want to replace with something like:

var m=\"#ED1C24\";

which does not work (visual is returned in black, irrespective of hex code).
