BUG: When using custom theme cannot select theme's color in data set.

Reproducing bug

1) I created a custom theme see below:

 

{
	"name": "TEST",
	"dataColors": [
		"#00457C",
		"#9D9494",
		"#009BA4",
		"#A6B5CC",
		"#009FE3",
		"#E6007E",
		"#76B82A",
		"#EF7D00",
		"#FFDD00"
	],
	"background": "#FFFFFF",
	"foreground": "#6F6F6F",
	"tableAccent": "#00457C",
	"visualStyles": {
		"*": {
			"*": {
				"*": [
					{
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom",
						"titleFontFamily":"CaeciliaCom",
						"secFontFamily":"CaeciliaCom",
						"secTitleFontFamily":"CaeciliaCom"
					}
				]
			}
		},
		"*": {
			"*": {
				"grid": [
					{
						"outlineColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"gridVertical": true,
						"gridVerticalColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#A6B5CC"
							}
						},
						"gridHorizontal": true,
						"gridHorizontalColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#9D9494"
							}
						}
					}
				],
				"columnHeaders": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#ffffff"
							}
						},
						"backColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 12,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				],
				"rowHeaders": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#ffffff"
							}
						},
						"backColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 12,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				],
				"values": [
					{
						"backColorSecondary": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#DBE1EB"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "DINPro"
					}
				],
				"dataLabel": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "DINPro"
					}
				],
				"target": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "DINPro"
					}
				],
				"title": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				],
				"X-Axis": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				],
				"Y-Axis": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				],
				"legend": [
					{
						"fontColor": {
							"solid": {
								"color": "#00457C"
							}
						},
						"fontSize": 10,
						"fontFamily": "CaeciliaCom"
					}
				]
			}
		}
	}
}

2) Import a custom visual, such as "synopticPanelByOKViz-1.5.0", or use any standard visual that you can control dataset colors

3) Try to adjust the color by selecting a theme color and you will see that your choise is not respected unless you enter the color manualy with the HTML code

Hi @Anonymous,


2) Import a custom visual, such as "synopticPanelByOKViz-1.5.0", or use any standard visual that you can control dataset colors

By my tests, the custom visuals will not apply report theme which is mentioned in official document.

However, the standard visuals in Power BI should apply report theme by my tests.
