Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

Consistent colors definitions should be applied at measure or field level.

Have been waiting for something to solve this since starting using PBI. Exactly as the poster described - per-customer colours on all visuals and shared between reports

It's very important to have data color conditional formatting in charts with a legend (line charts, bar/column charts, scatter chart, pie chart). Color is one of the most important attributes in data visualization and currently we can't really control data colors when we need (for example when we have multiple lines on a line chart). Proper use of data colors currently is possible only using workarounds (caclualtion groups, overlays of transparent visuals).

This would be so helpful. Having to format individually is back to Excel which we are trying to get away from.

Yes please. This would be a timesaver. Hopefully for the Report Server version too!
Thank you!

Yes, this would be so helpful! I had the exact situation as the Canada example. It will try to color code based on how they are sorted in the chart, so if you have multiple charts showing different sets of data, but Canada is the highest in one and the lowest in the other, it will be a totally different color. Hard to track the same country across the different visuals.

#,#;[Red](#,#);"-" add colour to custom format

Very needed!

'Perhaps similar to this request. But to clarify looking for the same measure across different charts and different pages to maintain :
1. Consistent Data Colors - If color is changed on one chart, change is applied across all charts in the same file
2. New Chart - If new chart is created in same file and metric with previously defined color is added to new chart, previously assigned color would be "auto-assigned" instead of default color
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible based on some other restriction the ability to import metric specific color scheme via lookup table that would drive this
Nice to have:
- Less clicks to get to HEXCODE editor
- Options for different color selector ie. wheel, square, circle, etc..
- Changing color in right click menu on legend or graph part

Much needed functionality. When this will be available?
