    Hey,

     

    please check the hexcodes for the colors

    "#FFD0000" (1st color) and "#78E1E" (3rd color)

    The color codes have to be valid hexcodes 6signs (characters and numbers) plus the # sign

     

    Regards,

    Tom

Hi,

I'm having a similiar challenge. I've recieved a JSON file that reads as follows but on importing get an error message?

Any thoughts on what is causing the problem?

"name": "Eight",
"dataColors": ["#0061A1", "#1C9BCE", "#52BEE7", "#B9E4F5", "#67757E", "#A2ADB4", "#E0E4E", "#8A1D20"],
"background": "#FFFFFF",
"foreground": "#3A6108",
"tableAccent": "#568410"
}

    Hey, using the latest release of Power BI Desktop (Win10 store), I was able to import the theme

    Hi, I'm not sure if you had your question answered on a separate thread but I think you made the same mistake I did. Your color "#E0E4E" is missing a digit.
