Showing Consistent Colors on a Graph Legend
Yes, you can manually set the colors for each category in the legend of your Power BI bar graph. Here's how to do it:
- Click on the bar graph visualization to select it.
- In the Visualizations pane, click on the Format tab.
- Expand the "Data colors" section.
- By default, the colors will be set to "Automatic". To set your own colors, click on "Custom colors".
- In the "Custom colors" section, click on the dropdown arrow next to the category you want to set a color for.
- Choose "Specific color" and select the color you want to use for that category.
- Repeat this process for each category in the legend.
Once you have set the colors for each category, they will remain consistent regardless of the data being displayed.
Note: If you add new categories to your data, you will need to manually set the colors for those categories as well.

Hi,
Clicking on the Graph and selecting the "Visualisation" option does not show a "Data Colors" option that I can see :
I've opened every sub menu and can't see anywhere to set Data Colors.

Hi,
The "Columns" data does have a "Colors" option but nothing to suggest I can turn on/turn off auto selection :

In COLUMNS you can choose each series and give it a permanent color

I have stacked car chart with only top 7 selection. I know how to change the colors, but that is only for the initial selection. When I change slicer, I get different colors. How do I keep the colors consistent?
