Dashboard Themes​

Holistics allows you to define and customize dashboard themes.

For more info, please see: Dashboard Themes

Setting Chart Colors​

With normal charts, you can set the colors of individual chart series by going to Chart Series section.

Color Palettes​

Holistics allows you to define a color palette to be used in your chart for consistency.

On the top right, click Other Settings > Settings > Colors to start creating and using new color palettes.

To use a color palette as default, click "Set as Default" (Every chart generated in your team uses this color palette by default)

Once you create a color palette, it is available in the Edit or Explore modal. To apply it to a chart, simply click its radio button:

Selecting a color palette in the Visualization Settings

Assign specific colors to data values​

Within a palette, you can tie a specific color to a data value — so that value always shows up in the same color. This is useful for brand colors or values that need to be instantly recognizable.

In this example, let's try to always show Face Treatment in green and Guess Jeans in purple.

To do this, follow these steps:

  • Go to the Colors settings, select the palette.
  • Add the color purple and green
  • In the Series Label section, replace the default label names with the exact data values you want to target (e.g., Guess Jeans, Face Treatment)

From that point on, those values always render in their assigned colors across any chart using this palette.

FAQs​

Will changing the default color scheme affect existing charts using the previous default scheme?​

Yes. If the default color scheme is changed, existing charts using the default setting will be updated to use the new default color scheme.

Can I delete the default color scheme?​

You cannot delete the default color scheme unless you have set another palette as your default option.
