Have created a JSON file from a text file but PowerBI rejecting it

[agwalsh1812]

I have generated this code based on a (dead) artist's work - Harry Clarke. I copied it into a text file and saved this file as a JSON one to use as a theme in PowerBI. However I got a message from PowerBI saying "Error importing theme file...The JSON syntaz was invalid, missing required proper "name", used invalid colors, or provided invalid top-level properties. ". What am I missing?

That worked beautifully - thank you. Why did the spaces make such a difference? Just so I know for future reference.

Try without spaces
