Customizing colors in Flourish
This lesson covers how to move beyond Flourish's default palette, from switching color modes and extending a palette for unique values, to overriding individual bars by label so the right data point stands out against a quiet, neutral background. By the end, you'll know how to direct attention exactly where you want it using color alone.
