Data colors of visuals changes automatically when renaming field(s)

Hi all,

I have some bar and line graphs, with around 10 categories, all with a different color (default). I am happy with the default colors, but I want them not to change. I noticed that when I rename a field that is in the visual, all the default colors change to another default color palette. Is there any way to "fix" the colors that are in the visuals?

 

I use a different theme then the default one, the one I am using is: Angles (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Themes-Gallery/Angles/m-p/140570). I tested the renaming of a field in a new Power BI Desktop file, but then the colors would stay the same. I don't know why it is happening in my other file.


Thank you for your help in advance!

@Anonymous,

 

The latest version of Power BI Desktop seems to work for me. You may try recreating the visual.
