Assigning color to specified values

Mapping colors to a specific dimension's values enables you to choose and modify a meaningful representation of values, such as 'green | red | amber' for 'success | failure | soft-fail'.

This feature applies to all visual types that use the Colors shelf.

To adjust the colors, select the option Fix colors for specified values.
In the colors that appear for each value, make changes.

You can ensure that these colors are used consistently across all visuals within a dashboard by combing this feature with Base colors on dimension values, For details, see Consistent colors on dimension values.

If the color you want to use is not in any of the palettes available to you, you can define it through the Custom Colors interface.

For example, in a grouped bar visual that shows values for Female and Male segments, we can adjust colors in the following manner:

Below the selected option Fix colors for specified values, click on the color you want to change. Let's change the color for Females.
In the expanded palette, select the new color. Here, we are changing the color for Females from dark turquoise to mauve.
Similarly, change the color for Males from light turquoise to dark turquoise.
This is how the color indicators appear after your make the changes:

After refreshing the visual, notice the change to its appearance:
