Colors

Learn how to customize the color palette for your chart.

You can set a default color palette used throughout the chart — think of it as your brand identity. These colors are applied automatically to all chart elements unless you overwrite them for specific pictas or components.

SettingDescription
Color PaletteA set of up to eight color swatches. Click a swatch to change its color, or choose one of the predefined palettes from the dropdown. The palette determines the default colors for series, data points, and other chart elements
Background ColorThe background color of the entire chart canvas. Click the color picker to choose a color, or paste a hex value directly

Tip: By default there is a margin between the card border and the chart. Temporarily set a dark background color to reveal that margin — now you can see the real size and boundaries of your chart canvas.
