Line Chart Theme: X & Y axis

Hello All!

 

Trying to set the color in a JSON file for 'Color' property in X & Y axis for Line Chart. I can change the text size for each via the JSON file, so I know I'm in the appropriate card. 

 

Here is what I have in my JSON file for this visual:

"lineChart":{
            "*":{
                "categoryAxis":[{
                    "show": true,
                    "axisType": "Categorical",
                    "fontColorPrimary": "#FFFFFF",
                    "fontSize": 8,
                    "fontFamily": "Segoe UI",
                    "concatenateLabels": false,
                    "showAxisTitle": true
                }],
                "valueAxis":[{
                    "show": true,
                    "position": "Left",
                    "axisScale": "linear",
                    "showAxisTitle": false,
                    "labelColor": "#000000",
                    "fontFamily": "Segoe UI",
                    "fontSize": 10
                }],
                "labels":[{
                    "show": true
                }]
            }
        }

I've tried color, fontColor, primaryFontColor. Kind of at a loss. 

I've been using Curbal's PBI app for assistance with this (found HERE). 

 

Any idears?

Try labelColor for those axes. It's been awhile since I've personally verified most of my theme JSON templates, but that was the last known working value for Line.

Hey!

 

It actually works. Thanks! I just think I specified the color incorrectly.

While that didn't work, the link is REALLY helpful. If you created that, THANK YOU! If not, thanks any how!
