I experienced this, as well. My forum post about is here. Forum user StewartR noted that it seems to happen for charts that don't have an axis.

Workaround: Add some data to your chart's Axis. Set the color, then remove the data from the Axis field.

I'm using Zoomcharts Donut Chart and publishing is changing the color to white, making the fraction obscure.
OneWithQuestion (below) also mentions using Pie Charts and TreeMaps.
Hoping to figure this out soon.
Thanks for your guidance.

    I changed the color from a custom looking color to a more common color and it worked for the first level donut filter, but changed a color in the 3rd level to white.

    Changed the deep red custom color to a tannish (light brown/grey) color and it worked - the colors in the published report were the same as the colors in the desktop report (Zoomcharts Donut Chart).
