Coloring Graphs, Charts with Data Included

You should add more colorful options for graphs, pie and bar charts not just fading versions but also like rainbow colors to identify better. Also these illustrations are missing what data they are mentioning because mostly AI skips to mention in report writing mentioning what is illustrated. So it will be wise to display what graph it is representing.

Would love to see this feature applied to the theme. I have my own brand colors.

Unreadable Format: Good to know! How important is the ability to assign a specific segment to a specific segment of the chart?
I just filed a ticket to add a theme palette to the color palette options, so hopefully this helps a bit!

Hey Maddy Westcott!
Fellow designer at Gamma, I worked on the charts feature (:
Couple more questions —
- Do you have a custom theme?
- Have you added accent colors to your theme?
These control a few things, one of them being the chart palettes. If you add a color, we'll generate a few nice looking palettes based on your that primary color.
It sounds like one of the most important functionalities for you here is to assign a specific color specific bar/point/slice etc?

Alison (Design @ Gamma) Hi Alison -- yes I built a custom theme in here! I will def give that a try tomorrow and yes being able to assign
specific
colors is very important! I would love to be able to autogenerate charts WITH those colors close or exactly where I want them :)Alison (Design @ Gamma)
Maddy Westcott: Got it! Candidly, I'm not sure where this would slot into the team's current roadmap but we've logged the feedback and filed a ticket to explore.
I've also filed a ticket to add a theme palette to the color palette options — that will let you use all of your theme colors, but you won't be able to specify (yet).

Maddy Westcott For when we eventually pick this up, it would be super helpful to know a bit more about how you'd want your colors applied.
Things like:
- Roughly how many colors would you want to use?
- Would you use multiple colors or tints and shades of a single eg. "primary brand color"
- If multiple—if you had 3 brand colors and 6 data items, would you be okay with repetition or automatic tinting
- Would you expect the same color scheme across across all chart types (bar, line, pie charts, etc) or need a way to control the color scheme per chart type

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Hi Nick! Ideally, I would be able to customize charts like in Excel or Flourish -- even if that means manual changes. In a perfect world if I was able to set all response options to be a color -- like in Tableau -- that would be EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks for listening!
