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
