When creating an app I only get a select few colors to choose from.
I want to be able to choose a specific color here.

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

If the preferred approach to deploy dashboards corporation wide is via an app, we need consistent branding. Please allow us to choose a colour which is consistent with our dashboard.

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

Espescially if you have a fixed color design you should be able to use it in the app, too.

When it's going to be developed?

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

Power BI recommends using Apps to distribute Power BI artifacts for org wise consumption. And doesn't allow customising the theme colour with hex code? It is a big deterrent for App adoption in the organisation. How is this not a thing yet? Surely it should be easy if it is already available in PBI desktop.

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

Very important feature for branding. It looks awful now as it doesn't match the company colors. Prevents us from using apps in the organization!

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

Hi Team:

While I am publishing my Power BI report using Power BI App, I am unable to change the App Color theme in accordance with my companies dashboard color theme. Currently, there are only 22 color variants available in Power BI App setup - App Color theme Palette.

Requesting you to add the color palette with HEX code / RGB input option to sync the theme basis the dashboard which we build and publish in Power BI App.

Thanks in anticipation of help.

Requesting all the community users to please vote for this option and hope this will help to the larger audience of Power BI users who uses Power BI App to publish their reports.

Regards

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

Provide the capability to configure a RGB color background for PBI apps. This should not be complicated.

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

When publishing or updating an APP, under the setup tab you would see options like App Name, Description, Support Site, App Logo, and App Theme Color.

The issue is that the preset presented does not match our company's theme and I cannot set a custom color there.

Please allow this functionality, thank you.

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

In the Power BI App you can specify the color for the surrounding navigation frame and a logo. However, the selection only has 22 colors, none of which match our official corporate color. Why can't we have a standard color picker or be able to specify a hex code for the color rather than this limited set of options?

RE: Custom color in Power BI apps

This should be a priority in the user interface. I've been waiting for this change from day one. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-designing-custom-navigation-for-power-bi-apps-is-now-generally-available-ga/Another scary aspect is when you create a report and try to style the canvas dark, you have a shadow on the outline that clashes with the wallpaper and this looks really bad in the app.
