Data Colors change upon publishing on Power BI Service

Hi,

 

My Pie chart in my Power BI desktop, is set to a set of data colours. After publishing to the service, the data colours seem to be different. This is messing up the Theme of my report. Is there a fix to this ? Please help!

I'm having this issue with Line Chart on version: 2.110.1161.0 (October 2022).
After I publish the line and label colors change.

Hi @Anonymous 

I restored your scene according to your description, the colors on Pie chart are the same on Desktop and Service. The test version of my Desktop is 2.105.1143.0 64-bit (May 2022) , Service is 13.0.18442.44 .

Is the color of your Pie chart set by yourself, or is it the system default ? Maybe you can update your Desktop to the latest version and test it later.

This issue appears to be happening to me as well.  I am using July 2024 version of Power BI Desktop.  In response to Ailsa's question above, I did customize the slice colors on my pie chart in Desktop.  The default colors were too similar in shade and couldn't be distinguished from each other.  Once I publish the report to Power BI service, the colors have all shifted and some cannot be distinguished again.  Has anyone been able to answer why this happens or how to fix it?
