Legend color problem when publish in service.

[Anonymous]

I used a dual chart(bar and line). 

Powerbi desktoppowerbi service

In PBI desktop legend shows correct color but when publishing in service it became black but interaction remains the same.

Fail Pass color became black.

Can anyone help with this?

Hi @Anonymous , I have encountered such issue in the past when legend colors were changed on its own. 

What I later discovered is, if the default colors are kept as is when you publish in the service, every time the page/data is refreshed, the service assigns the legend colors on its own. 

In order to avoid that, try choosing the colors in the desktop and check in the service if they are the same.

Even if default colors need to be kept, you can select them once, that way it doesnt need to determine the colors.

This does not seem like a viable solution. My colors keep switching form what I defined in the desktop and they switch betwenn them continuously.

Hi-

how and where to select the Colors. Could you please share the screenshot? I am also facing the issue since last couple of days. Desktop has different (my preferred) Colors and they changed once I publish on PowerBI Service 

thank you
