  • 1.  Chart Color options

    Posted Mon March 02, 2020 04:51 PM

    Hi - I am trying to match the colors on my charts so that the values for "US Region" will all be the same color on the dashboard. But I dont know what the options are for colors (I tried blue;lightblue; or babyblue and couldnt get it to work)

     

    My goal is to swap the colors. But would be nice if there were a list of what each of the standard colors are called - is there such a list?

    Hello,

     

    Here are the first 9 colors that we seem to use by default in reporting - based on the color picker tool in Paint: 

     

    List standard colors

     

    From there you can use a concatenation formula in excel to generate automatically the string based on the items you want to map - for example:

     

    Application=#6FADD1;Compute=#287aab;Data Center=#064c76;Delivery=#798ad7;End User=#344bb5;IT Management=#0f237e;Network=#87CEEB;Output=#6cd7a9;Platform=#3CB371

    Also remember that the item text is case sensitive. I've fallen in that pit not only once... :-)

    You can also search for any html color code charts and Apptio accepts those also. I use this link and just replace the color on the chart with the one I want it to be:

    Hope this helps,


    Thanks
