Dear all,

Please is it possible to change the color of the column-chart in the data visualizer?  
I want to create a dashboard with different column-charts, but they are all the same green color.

Is it possible to differentiate these charts by color (i.e assign each data element a different color) or the differentiate the bars of the columns in a chart (please note that the bars are the org units and that there is only one period and indicator per chart)?

Thanks

Best regards,  
U’aa

Hi @Uaa  
Unfortunately, it is not possible to select preferred colors for chart visualization at the moment.

Thank you,  
Emma

Hi @Uaa,

Unfortunately, you can not change the colors on the data visualizer as they are standard. We can however have this as a feature request for the DHIS2 team to weigh it out and see if more users are interested in this; if it draws interest, the team will inject it to the new features to be added to DHIS2’s upcoming versions.

Best,  
James.

There is an open issue for this in JIRA [[DHIS2-648] - Jira](https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-648) – would be good to vote for this to push it higher up the priority list!
