    Transparency is really needed - especially for stacked area charts. Otherwise the features of BI are lost because the charting cannot result in clean output

    Really need transparent color to get around some of the limitations in charting.

    Please improve data colours options and include transparency. It is a fundamental feature in building charts.

    Totally agree. As far as the line and clustered column vis is concerned I'm looking at a chart with a dual y axis and the only way of correcting this is to bring the line in to make my budget at the same scale as the actuals. If I could just have a colour that was nondescript (or invisible) this would solve my problem.
