Epic idea: Conditioanl formatting parameters displayed in legends and tooltips

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

Do Templates and Themes not accomplish what you are looking for?

Filter to show the graphics as they appear to a color blind user?

I don't believe they were talking on the template or theme level. More like if country was a dimension, any time Canada would be represented in a bar or line plot, it would be a red bar or line. Mexico would be a green bar or line, etc. Could do it with some DAX and rules if the Data Color property had conditional formatting.

Black format as it was before

Wouldn't it make sense to have a Color Values box on the 'fields' view that you could drop a column into to set color values instead of having to go into the format view? When you have a multi-page report with 4 to 7 Line and stacked column charts per page, it takes significant time to update all of them.

Yes, PLEASE! I am constantly having to change data colors for the same field being used across multiple pages. I'd use a measure to set the color but my boss prefers PieCharts and DonutCharts for a certain analysis and the advanced controls for data colors aren't enabled there.
