Configuring the default color palette for Explore and Present

This guide explains how to choose the colors that appear in the default color palette used in visualizations and dashboards.

Note

Some Administration settings are different in the Explore and Present pages. This guide explains how to configure settings in Explore and Present. For information about configuring Administration settings in the rest of the Adverity platform, see the Administration section of the documentation.

Introduction

The color palette is the default colors available in the color picker. The color picker is used in the Explore and Present pages when you customize colors, for example for visualization widgets.

Changing the color palette changes the colors that appear as the default options whenever you use the color picker in Explore and Present.

The image below shows the color palette on the left, and the color picker on the right. The 12 colors in the color palette appear as the first 12 options in the color palette at the bottom of the color picker. The rest of the color palette contains colors that are suggested by Adverity.
