Visual Column Colors

I have a report on a Server where business names are seleted and data crreated for that business.  

 

I crerated a report with colors for visual columns that I selected and saved.

 

When users load their business date file, their colors are not what I choose for most columns.


Is there a way in Power BI to have default colors set like for the first 10 colors I select to be used for a visual.

 

It becomes a problem when two columns or pie slices next two each other have the same color for some businesses data.
