I am building a template which has to contain 5 different colors for the coloring of the dimensions of the charts. What is the best way to do this to make it work for all kinds of data? I do not want to fix colors to specific data values (e.g. make Coca Cola red), because I am using a huge set of data with no predefined color scheme available.
I already tried to update the default colors used in the Color tab, but then 18 different colors instead of 5 are used..
For good or bad, QV just allows its 18-color basket so if you want just 5 colors, repeat those 5 colors throughout the 18-color basket, or create write a pick() function that takes a random number and assigns one of the 5 colors. I think either way you run the risk of have 2 same-colored slices being placed next to each other.
