Change chart colours
You can customise chart colours to highlight key data, match your brand colours, or improve readability with just a few clicks.
If you’re a Brand designer or an Admin, you can set up on-brand chart colours, check out Set up on-brand chart styles.
Change chart colours
- Click on the chart to open the toolbar.
- On the editor toolbar, select the colour tile you'd like to edit. The Colour panel will open on the side.
- To use a colour on your chart, click on a colour tile from the options. Hover over a colour to see its display name.
- If the colour you're looking for isn't available, click Add a new colour (the rainbow colour tile).
- To pick a colour from your design, click the Pick a colour (eyedropper) button and select any colour on the canvas.
- To replace a colour across the current page or the entire pages, select Current page or All pages.
- If your Team admin or Brand designer has already added the chart style to your team’s Brand Kit, choose from your brand colours. For detailed steps, check out Create on-brand charts.
The improved Color panel now shows more default colours along with their display names when hovered over, except for colours in brand kits, which can be named and added when creating a palette.
