Colors - What are they?

• Colors are used in dashboards for alignment of data:
• None – Series colors are cycled in sequence from the color palette on a per chart basis
• Metric – The same color is used for additional occurrences of that metric
• Category – The same color is used for additional occurrences of that category
• Colors can also be defined for bin display, color palette or numeric
• Theme color is definable which sets the highlight on the platform.
• Two modes of the UI are selectable – Light and Dark mode
