Helper IWhy does one visual keep diverting from theme colors?
Hi,
I have a visual that keeps changing from my theme colors to random colors whenever I filter to something else in my slicer. This is what I want the visual to look like:
and these are my theme colors:
but these colors come up (or other random ones) when I use a slicer.
Could someone please help me? This is really bothering me! I've tried looking at other forums, but nothing is solving this.

Hi deannag , one cause of visuals changing from theme colors is usually when the colors in the visual are manually changed any time before applying the report theme. What you can do is to recreate the visual from scratch and ensure you don't manually select the colors (especially colors outside the theme).
deannagThat didn't work either unfortunately

Is the Legend the same values in both screenshots?

I use the same column for the legend, but the values themselves change. Sometimes there are the same number of values (3) and sometimes 4.

I'm wondering if the Blue bar in photo #1 is the same exact column value as the Purple bar in photo #2. If it's a different value, then BI is coming up with a new color to make it unique.
How many unique values are in your source column when fully unfiltered? If it's more than say 12 or so, I'd guess BI is running out of colors in your Theme that are different enough and starts going rogue. Your theme is very monotone, so that may further limit what it thinks is a "good" color to show.

Same column and amount of values but different values
