Change color for variables throughout dashboard

I have used Tags variables in legend for all the charts to make the color uniform. However, I want to choose the colors for few variables like Alpha, beta, gama has pink, purple and yellow like in first chart. But, I want to make this change occur for any charts where I use variable Tags in legends to for uniformity. Is there a way I can do this? 

I have provided gdrive folder link which containts sample pbix and excel file as well. Gdrive_folder_link

HI @Anonymous ,

 

You can select similar type of charts in one go to make LEGEND colors same.

For example in your report, select all your bar-charts (Ctrl-Click) --> Go to Format options under Visualisation Pane --> Go to DATA COLORS --> change your colors as required.

 

You can't select a pie-chart with a bar-chart as these are different types of charts. So, in one go you can make color changes on same type of charts.

 

Thanks,

Pragati
