Chart colours come from the page palette: Page → Style → Chart palette. A chart uses the palette in order, unless it has its own series colours, a Color field or conditional colours.

Choosing a scheme fills the Colors palette (20 swatches; shorter schemes are extended with lighter shades). You can still change single swatches afterwards.

In 10.00 the swatches can keep showing the previous scheme until you reopen the report; the charts already use the new colours.

New reports start with the scheme set in Settings › General › System configuration › Reports › Default color scheme.

Consistent member colors

With Consistent member colors on, a member keeps the same colour in every chart on the page, also after filtering and sorting: Online is the same blue in the column chart, the pie and the line chart.

• On by default in new reports, off in reports created before 10.00.
• Colours are recorded while you edit, in the order members first appear, up to 50 members per field. Members beyond that get a fixed colour derived from their name, which also stays the same when filters change.
• After you change the scheme or a swatch, recorded members are moved to the new colour at the same position.
• Colours set on the component itself, a Color field and conditional colours take priority.

Gradient presets

The conditional colour dialogs have a Preset list for gradients: Blues, Greens, Oranges and Purples, plus four diverging presets in tables and pivot tables. See Conditional Formatting.
