customizing theme for graph series colors

 I have to update a line graph with two series. How do I keep the first series color constant, regardless of which filter I apply? I have a theme applied but it keeps assigning other color options. I just want the two lines to always be the same two colors.

Hi @epithette 

 

When setting the color of each line in the visualization panel, the expanded color section displays the theme color, when you apply other report themes, all visuals in your report use the colors and formatting from your selected theme.

You can click “More colors…” to select custom color by entering the color value(RGB or hexadecimal) or selecting a color from palette. The colors set in this way will be independent of changes in the theme, and the custom colors you set will remain the same when the theme changes.

Here is my simple example:

When I apply the default theme, I select a custom color for line A and a theme color for line B.

Then I switch to another theme, the Line A color stays the same and the Line B color changes with the theme.
