pastel colours in synoptic panel

I have created a risk matrix using the synoptic designer, but the colours are changed to pastel shades where I have no data.

 

This is my base image:

this is what it looks like in Power BI when populated:

but this is what I want it to look like:

Is there an option to change it so that all the colours are solid, irrespective of whether they contain data?

I found the solution but I've posted on here in case anyone else has the same problem. 

 

There is an option in the "General" settings called "Unmatched areas":

 Turn it off, and the colours remain as per your original SVG file.

what about grid values? turning the Unmatched areas off, leaving the cells with values still lighter
