You can customize the display of dashboards using display themes and color palettes. Visual Insight includes the Light and Dark display themes, which can be used to quickly change the overall look and feel of dashboards. For examples of the Light and Dark display themes, see Defining default fonts and colors for the objects in the dashboard.
Each display theme contains built-in color palettes, but can also contain other color palettes that you create to provide more variety and customization options. A color palette applies to the objects, such as a graph’s bar risers or heat map’s rectangles, displayed in all the visualizations in the dashboard. If the same attribute is used to color the objects in different visualizations, the values for that attribute use the same color in the visualizations. If you create multiple color palettes for a display theme, you can choose to display your dashboard in one set of colors for one audience, and in a different set of colors for another audience.
