How to Change Legend Text Color?

With today's update, you can change the entire page to black.  very cool.

 

Though, how do you change the color of the Legend Text?  I can't figure out how to stop this from being black on black.

No way that I can find. You could change that individual visualization's background color. Remember that the default transparency is 50% for a lot of visualizations so keep that in mind if your colors look wonky.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Yeah.  Coloring text to offset/contrast a page background color is an issue.  I've found several visuals in which you can change the TEXT color for X-axis, Y-axis - but - not the legend.

 

If you can't change the text color for all places where text appears, then you're limited on how you can use a black or dark grey background - unless you wedge a color graphic inbetween using the z-control (not a cool solution)

 

This is an issue, that I'm sure they'll fix soon as PowerBI is becoming a great tool for InfoGraphics.

 

 

Hi everyone. We're expanding the surface area of formatting options really quickly - the ability to change legend text color is going to arrive next month. Thanks for your patience!
