How would I encode a RGBA to a Power BI Color?
I would like to store RGBA in SQL int columns to specify a fill color for a Charticulator Glyph (Shape).
If I encode my Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha columns as:
(Alpha << 24) | (Red << 16) | (Green << 8 | Blue
The colors I am using are below:
When I set the Fill color for a Glyph to a SQL column containing the long value of the color, I get a gray scale:
My question is:
How are colors encoded for use in Power BI Charticulator visualizations?
Hi Anonymous ,
The code can use any color values listed in the CSS color spec at https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-3/. These color values can include:
- 3, 6 or 8-digit hex codes, for example #3E4AFF. Make sure you include the # symbol at the start of the code.
- RGB or RGBA values, like RGBA(234, 234, 234, 0.5).
- HSL or HSLA values, like HSLA(123, 75%, 75%, 0.5).
- Color names, such as Green, SkyBlue, or PeachPuff.

Would this be a string that contains the hexadecimal encode RGBA code? I am currently using the Base 10 encode of RGBA.
(Alpha << 24) | (Red << 16) | (Green << 8 | Blue
