Hi! We're working on support for customizing the colors in your reports, but please go vote on the ideas you want implemented:
Thanks!
I am still having issues with using the JSON file for Themes in Power BI, some of the sections of the file do not work. I am simply trying to apply a theme which has a white background on the visuals and a light grey background on the page. the page visual is loaded as an image and the Border and Background should be controlled by the theme file. I have tried following advice from here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/How-to-create-a-Power-BI-theme-with-a-JS... but again some of the information on card names is incorrect. The documentation here doesn't give you all you need with working samples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-report-themes.
Here is the theme file contents. can you please help?

This helped me A TON.
I keep getting an error when trying to bring in the Json file for the custom theme. I am using the St. Patricks Day file as a template and modifying the Hex codes to correspond with my companies colors.
{
"name": "XYZxyz",
"dataColors": ["#1E345D", "#768591", "#F38A00", "#99CAEA", "#DADFE1",
"background":"#FFFFFF",
"foreground": "#768591",
"tableAccent": "#1E345D"
}
Thanks, Steve
@reddobe, you are missing a square bracket after "#DADFE1". Try this.
{
"name": "XYZxyz",
"dataColors": ["#1E345D", "#768591", "#F38A00", "#99CAEA", "#DADFE1"],
"background":"#FFFFFF",
"foreground": "#768591",
"tableAccent": "#1E345D"
}
Am I missing something - after the update I don't see the Theme section on the ribbon?
Never mind - I found it in Options
The custom themes preview feature is fantastic, really speeds up the workflow when developing reports in Power BI.
Do you have a list of all the attributes that can be customised using a theme? Or is this currently the full list...
"dataColors", "background","foreground" & "tableAccent"?
The custom theme preview feature is great. Is it possible to specify a report background, please? Thanks you
@DimitriNoyen Not quite yet, but we have plans to add that into the theme as well!
That is certainly reassuring! That said, and with "monthly" updates, we sure could use guidance as to "how to best prepare" for "colored" backgrounds so that we don't have to start over when the "full themes" functionality rolls out.
Themes are, without a doubt, a huge customer requirement and a competitive "disadvantage"!
We read about a "Themes/Customer Gallery" and that would be an enormous benefit - please make this ASAP!
Would it be possible to "provide us some roadmap guidance"?
You should see the public themes gallery release next week! When we update the theme definition to include background, you won't have to recreate your theme files, it will be additive. All the previous themes you had should still be valid, and you can just add extra stuff to it now to do more.
Hi Amanda,
It is now April 10, 2017, so could you provide as estimated timeline of when "Power BI Service" with Dashboards composed of "pinned tiles" may allow "themes including background colors".
And, for that matter as well, approx when we might see "Background color theming in Power BI Desktop" to compliment the EXCELLENT "Theming preview" in the March release.
Unfortunately, we like many others are "MIS-using" PIN live "Power BI Desktop reports to Dashboards" to artificially overcome the fact that "currently" pinned tiles to create dashboards DO NOT yet allow "theming". This is not great for both us and our customers as it can be a lot of work to "REDO" a lot of work!
I believe the the Power BI service is "updated" more like weekly vs. the Power BI Desktop app is "monthly". Unfortunately, while there are many exciting new cpabilities with the PBI Desktop April release last week, we see no mention of any further enhancements to the "PREVIEW Themes" from March?
COLOR THEMES are just so "inherently prevalent" in nearly everything we do these days - from web page design to advertising and branding to even Woindows 10 THEMES - that "it's really important" to get this functioanlity in Power BI as soon as possible !
Hello, I'm still using the trial version of Power BI, but unable to see any way to set default colors for charts, or to apply custom themes / templates. Is the feature not available with the trial version? Thanks!
Any plans to add customs color themes to Power BI Service?
Having Custom (Color) Themes available in the Web Service version is important.
More so, WHY would functionality like this be available in the Desktop version, but not the Web Service version?
Same thing with changing field formats (available in Desktop but not Web).
Great, looking forward to a Gallery of themes to choose from. I've been searching high and low to find it.
Hey @xxcorpxx we just announced the gallery! Here's the link the the gallery and the blog post announcing it. I'll be updating the March Desktop release blog post as well with this announcement.
Congradulations Amanda and the Power BI Team!!! Unfortunately, the "link to the gallery" - both in your community post above and in your blog post near the top of the post - doesn't yet seem to work as I am getting an "red access denied error" after I log-in to the community.
Anyone else get it to work?
@anywhereanytime if you try again it should work now! We had an issue where a segment of community users couldn't access it. The bug is fixed now and everything should work. Let me know if it still doesn't for you!
