Custome colors for categories in Bar chart in Power Reporting Builder

Hello.

In Power BI it is possible to choose the colors for each category/legend of the chart (bar chat). Something like this:

Those are institutional colors that we need to use in our Paginated Reports. So far we have created the palette in the properties of the chart, but we do not have any idea about how to configure the colors matching the same definition of the original power bi graphic :

Is there a way to do this ? What could we missing?

Hi @Anonymous,

After I double check on the report builder, it seems not support theme. I'd like to suggest you use expression color formatting in paginated report.

=Iif('condition', "Green", "White")

HI @Anonymous,

Perhaps you can try to use theme with custom data color set to achieve custom data color on your visual or try to use Dax expression to format your visual data labels.

Hi @Anonymous 

In this case what we need is to implement the custom color option present in Power BI into Paginated Report.

Is that possible?
