Hi @Anonymous 

With no visuals selected go to the format icon.

Click on GENERAL

Then down to filter cards:

Here on Applied filters i've changed it to brown

There are more settings that you can change with a theme than what is included in that view.

Which theme did you use?

 

If you choose Save Current Theme you can export the JSON file and see what the settings are.

 

Then you can copy the JSON file into an editor like JSON Editor Online:

There are a few editors online that let you change this without knowing JSON.
Power BI Tips Theme Generator is a good one.

Hi @Anonymous 

Did you click on Filter Pane and then Applied filter cards?

Available is unfiltered, Applied if filtered and it looks like youve applied a filter.

Thanks for the answer @SamWiseOwl , I dont think it is that. I don't even have option to change that colour. There is only background and font available

Thanks so much! I'd never find it myself. It was a custom theme I have within the company I work for
