I have had this same issue, at least with pie and line charts.
This is frustrating especially with a line chart where I have a number of lines and made an effort to differientate the colors. After publishing, some line colors change to different ones compared to the colors they were defined on the desktop version.

 

Here's some details how the colors have changed:

 

My collegue complained that some colors are too close to each other. The dashboard showed wrong colors with firefox, chrome and ie browsers.


On my computer the colors were fine for a while with firefox and ie. After using the published dashboard the colors changed.

I'd like to see this bug fixed.

 

BR,

I'm also experiencing this bug in a pie chart. I have legend of 10 colors and I want 2 colors to be the same, but in the PBI service it changes the wrong ones.

Re-applying all the colors to the items seems to have fixed the issue, but I don't know for how long..

Can anybody reproduce this?

    I have this issue and it is causing serious problems as we have standard color coding we use for given categories.... now they are changing at random.

      Hi Onewithquestion, 

       

      Have you tried the workaround above? Workaround: Add some data to your chart's Axis. Set the color, then remove the data from the Axis field. 

       

      This might be able to help while Microsoft works to fix the issue.

        Yeah, it did not seem to work sadly....

         

        EDIT: I should have clarified, this is happening with pie charts and Treemaps as well.
