Shape map colour transparency

Hi

 

I have a shape map with a field selected for colour saturation. However, when I choose the colours, they are set to be partly transparent. The following shows part of the shape map next to a card visualisation.

The colours should be the same. However, the card background is set to 0% transparency, whereas the shape map colour seems to be very transparent and, as a result, very similar to the map background.

 

Does anyone know how to change this so that the shape map colour is 0% transparent?

 

Thanks!

@bullius Based on my testing, it looks like either your saturation levels have too many values extreme high/low which makes for some really light fill. With smaller scale, I don't see this "Fade" unless I select something on the map. When nothing is selected the colors remain strong.

As a different option: Under formatting -> Default Color, you could change the background colors and outline so that the shaded areas pop out more...
