Custom color schemes in Power BI

Creating of graphs and tables in Power BI is quite intuitive. Unless you set it differently, the default color style is used for everything, (and can be customized in each visual).

However, to make the whole visualization in our company colors would be too laborious – if you modify each chart individually.

In such a situation you can use custom color styles..

First, create a .json file (or download it from here):

theme_exceltown.json

Then you can define different colors in the HEX style for all elements.

{
“name”: “exceltowntheme”,
“dataColors”: [“#42f456”, “#e82c17”, “#777374”, “#777374”, “#D79A12”, “#bb7711”, “#114400”, “#aacc66”],
“background”:”#000033″,
“foreground”: “#ff0000”,
“tableAccent”: “#568410”
}

Now simply load the file, and from now all charts and tables in this pbix file are in your colors.
