Pre-defined color values

albertovarela — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 20:51:27 GMT

I was going through the Examples of visualization color settings section on help.qlik.com and came across this example that uses pre-defined color values (not functions or variables) for the background color expression. I tried them out and they do work so I was curious to learn if anyone knows where to get a list of what's available.

you could just create your own set of individual colors by defining variables:
Let yourColor1 = RGB(123,54,200);

To make it global put the list of color variables in a textfile (file ending .qvs) and inlcude this in every app.

Thanks for the reply @chris_djih . I am aware of those techniques. I was just surprised to see those values on the documentation and wondering what else is in there.

I dug a bit deeper and discovered that those are standard HTML / CSS Color Names... You can find an extensive list https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-names/
