Data Colours change in Power BI Service
Anonymous, Anonymous,
I used a work around by adding multiple values and then changing the default colour to the colour i wanted and then removing the multiple values. It works.
Thanks for all your inputs.
This bug seems to be back and it's killing me!
My bar chart and pie chart colors change when I publish to the web, and my image file is missing completely.
Help!!!
I had the same issue with custom colours set in the Desktop then changing upon publishing to the service. I am pretty sure I used Format Painter to apply the colours to a new visual from an exisiting one with the correct pallette, so I think this was the cause in my case.
My fix was to go into each colour and open the custom colour dialogue, delete the last character of the hex string and then immediatly replace it (tricked it into thinking there was a colour change) and hit enter. Had to do this for each colour in each new visual but it stuck upon publishing to the service.
Cheers

I do see similar issue when I publish the report. I have pie chart and clustered bar chart with multiple values, I manually edited the color in clustered bar chart to sync with pie chart. Once I deploy this report these changes are gone. This there any work around for this issue?
I'm also having a similar issue. I have a line chart with 8 lines. Each line is a unique color. Once the report is published the chart color formatting is changed and two of the 8 lines are the same color. The chart reverts back to the desired color formatting from my power bi desktop file after refreshing the browser. It would be much more convinient if I didn't have to tell my end users they need to refresh their browser upon opening my report.
Just wanted to say that the trick of "changing" the last char of the color code worked for me (for now).
I've just had this same issue - very annoying because my end user needed to notify me about many of my custom colours changing to yellow, making my report unreadable! Retyping the last digit of the colour code fixed it, for the colours that autochanged in the service. This is an embarrassing error, and I hope it can be fixed soon.
That worked fine for me, thanks. That bug was driving me nuts.
