Hi @santiagomur ,
Based on this document, dataColors is the list of hex code color codes to use for data in Power BI Desktop visuals. The list can have as many or as few colors as you want, and this label is put as the same level of config name.
After my test, the datacolor label in config file will apply to all visual in this report, we did not found where can put the datacolor in visual level config. Though we could set color for each ribbon visual, but it is not an effective solution. Perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner : https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas
