    Hi UlrickT,

     

    Yes, the colors show up as you list them in the JSON. Power BI extends the colors from lighter to it. After all, the colors listed in the JSON aren't enough. 

    {
    "name": "St Patricks Day",
    "dataColors": ["#568410", "#3A6108", "#70A322", "#915203", "#D79A12", "#bb7711", "#114400", "#aacc66"],
    "background":"#FFFFFF",
    "foreground": "#3A6108",
    "tableAccent": "#568410"
}

Hi UlrickT,

 

According to my test, Power BI uses the color along the horizontal of the color-picker, which could avoid two similar colors getting together.

In which order do they show up? Is that in the order you listed the HEX in the JSON?
