Dashboard Color Schemes

Overview

Use the Color option dropdown on any dashboard to align series colors (palette alignments) using default, metric or categorical color schemes.

Available Color Schemes

None (Default)

Series colors are cycled in sequence from the color palette on a per chart basis.

Metric

All series on a dashboard with the same metric will align on a similar color. E.g. Packet loss % is blue, Delay is orange, Jitter (p95) is green, etc.

If the same metric appears multiple times in a given chart, each occurrence will be given a shade of the core metric color.

CAUTION: Metrics with different directions or aggregations share the same color using this scheme.

Category

All series with matching categorization will align on the same color. E.g. West is orange, Central is green, East is purple, etc.

You can also rearrange the palette order based on your selected criteria.

Saving

To save a chosen palette alignment to a dashboard, transition into dashboard authoring mode by clicking Author, selecting your Color option and then clicking Save. Color palette choices made outside of authoring mode will not be persisted, allowing alternative choices to be made without concern for impacting other users.
