The default color palette is the one Reports Builder uses if you do not specify another one in your preferences. The color palette file is named default.pal. For more information about the location of this file on your system, see the Installation Guide for your operating system.
The default color palette is defined by the following rules:
black white
green darkgreen
gray darkgray
cyan darkcyan
red darkred
blue darkblue
yellow
darkyellow magenta darkmagenta
The lower-left region of the palette contains eight empty cells into which you can place custom defined colors.
The next five columns are composed of varying shades of gray. Each color
is named gray<value>
,
according to its percentage gray value. The values range from 4 to 96, in
increments of 4. For example, valid color names include gray96
,
gray92
, and gray4
.
The remainder of the palette contains colors specified by varying percentages of red, green, and blue (RGB) components:
The percentage values for each red or green component are: 0, 25, 50, 75, 88, or 100
The percentage values for each blue component are: 0, 50, 75, 88, or 100.
Each color is named r<value>g<value>b<value>
,
according to its RGB values (for example, the color that is composed of 100% red,
88% blue, and 0% green is named r100g0b88
).
Except for the color cells described above, the palette is composed of five major regions, each containing 36 colors in a 6x6 arrangement. These colors are defined by the following rules:
The red value increases as the colors progress from left to right within each major region.
The green value increases as the colors progress from top to bottom within each major region.
The blue value increases as the major regions progress from left to right, with all of the colors in a single region using the same blue value.
