Why does one visual keep diverting from theme colors?
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.
The legend for both photos is the same column, but the values itself will be different. The column is 'event name' so it's team + day played. When I filter by team, they will each play a different day, but there's still a maximum of 3-4 values that the visual will show. I'll try pulling different colors into the theme, but I'd like it to be more consistent even though it is monotone.
So, the first visual could have July 1, July 2, and July 3, but the second visual could have August 1, August 2, and August 3. Does that make sense?
That being said I'm trying to find a way to force Power Bi to use the colors in the theme to avoid this. I know it's monotone, so I'll try pulling in some different colors into the theme, but
Same column and amount of values but different values
