Stuck with preset themes? Not impressed with your dashboard color scheme? All you need is flexibility to pick the colors you desire. But first, let us understand why colors are so important? Colors have a profound effect on human psychology and evoke certain reactions which may vary from person to person. They play a vital role in all our activities and influence our responses. Hence the freedom of choosing colors is very enticing. With Collabion Charts for SharePoint, you will get that freedom! Yes, you can use the colors of your choice in your charts. In the world of data visualization, colors play an important role. They help us differentiate among various data plots we represent on our charts. However, some conventional colors also highlight certain kinds of messages. For example, red represents warnings and green represents safer situations. But then again, choosing the right hues is totally dependent on personal preferences. So go ahead and choose from myriads of colors to enhance the look and feel of your single-series charts in Collabion Charts for SharePoint. Visit http://collabion.com

will
learn
how
to
customize
the
colors
of
the
various
data
plots

Single
Series
chart
generated
with
Collabion
Charts.
Before
we
proceed,
we
need
to
know
about
HEXCODES
for
colors!
According
to
Wikipedia,
“Web
colors
are
colors
used
in
displaying
web
pages,
and
the
methods
for
describing
and
specifying
those
colors.
Colors
may
be
specified
as
an
RGB
triplet
or
in
hexadecimal
format
(a
hex
triplet).”
Thus,
in
a
webpage,
any
hexadecimal
number
code
which
describes
a
color
is
called
a
‘hex
color
code’.
Any
color
can
be
specified
through
its
hex
code.
