Custom Color Pallete in QlikSense

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We try to use Custom Color Pallete in order to set our company's colours. We've found out that QlikSense predefines colours for each value in a field which causes problems. Please note that there are fields which include up to 500 differenet values in our data model. On the other hand our custom pallete includes only 25 different colours. It means that there naturally must be a repetition of colours. Now let's look at this example. There is a field "Станция". It includes among others such values as "АВТОРАДИО (ВОЛГОГРАД)" and "АВТОРАДИО (ПЕРМЬ)". QlikSense predifined a yellow colour from our custom pallete for both values. Now it's impossible to compare these values. See here: http://take.ms/ZFm6r.

Is it possible to change QlikSense default colours without using Custom Color Pallete?

Thank you in advance,

Larisa

Hi Larisa,

It is not possible to change the default colors without using the custom color palette. However, there are a few other ways you can control the colors:

• Color by expression: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/April2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Colors/color-by-expression.htm
• Color by dimension or measure: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/April2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Colors/color-a-visualization.htm#...
• Assigning colors to master items: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/April2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Colors/assigning-colors-to-master...
• Assigning colors to master dimensions: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/April2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Colors/assigning-colors-to-dimens...

There are also a few extensions that might work for you:

• Qlik Sense Themepark: http://branch.qlik.com/#!/project/5aac33c313f2baf07afe97b2
• Qlik ColorStyler: http://branch.qlik.com/#!/project/57f6006e4d63b245095d2347

I hope this helps!

All the Best,

Carmen
