Change grey colour on a gauge

Hi

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default grey colour of the gauge to another colour?

@ChrisWGB , I do not see any color option to change that.

It doesn't appear that you can, but you might try adding the Tachometer visual. Used it before and I think that would meet your need.

For people who stumble here. I was able to solve it from the https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Gauge-Widget-Change-gauge-background-colour-not-wi...
To simplify what is stated on the post.

Step 1: Go to View-> themes, select: Customize current theme.

Step 2: Change one of the color on your default. For simplicity change Sentiment color neutral to orange or other shade of yellow.

Step 3: Go to themes and select: Save current theme. (This will create a JSON file with a name you give)

Step 4: Open the JSON file and add (,"backgroundLight":"#D64550") with desired color on background light.

Step 5: Go to themes and select: Browse from themes and load the JSON you modified which inturn will change the Grey color to color you select.

Solved:

Go to the themes and Edit Theme.

In Power BI desktop, if you go to View > Themes (dropdown) > Customize current theme, then on the Name and Colours section go to Advanced > the Gauge colour we are talking about (on mine at least) is the Third-level elements dropdown.  Not sure how this will affect your other visuals, but I am only using Gauge on a single page report and it worked.
