Customize chart widget colors

[Julietteb (Juliette)]

Hi community! Thank you for all the thoughtful feedback. The product team is looking into the different development and design requirements to better understand the effort needed to add the ability to customize chart widget colors on boards. At the moment, we do not have a a timeline for this feature, but are planning on starting to develop this feature in the future.

What it means when a feature request is "Under consideration"

If a feature is marked as “under consideration” it means that while we understand the need for this feature, at the moment, this feature is not planned in our upcoming roadmap due to other priorities and team capacity. We are looking into this feature and are considering adding it to our roadmaps in the future. When thinking about the upcoming roadmap, our team needs to make difficult decisions about how we prioritize new features, improve old ones, and ensure overall platform quality. Please b…

It’s disappointing that this feature request is outstanding for 3 years.

[Sandkatze (Patrick Straten)]

This really needs to be made a feedback, in order to have the dashboards be useful for any review.

[Julietteb (Juliette)]

At the moment, the team is finalizing the upcoming roadmap, which includes customizing chart widget colors. While we do not have an exact timeline of when the feature will be available in 2024, our community will be the first to hear know when the timeline is finalized so make sure to turn your notifications on the post.

This feature request is almost three years old, for something that should’ve been rolled out Day 1. At the very least, do you have a designer that can create a color pallet easy on the eyes? I’m forced to send my C-Suite gaudy reports with a Miami Vice/80’s vibe.

Embarrassing!

Are there any updates on this feature from the last roadmap prioritization session? It might be worth considering that a minimum viable product is to allow the end user the option to select ‘no color’ for now. I work for a Fortune 500 and can’t present anything live in table format to the C-suite with this limitation, or even allow them to export to their own spreadsheet or PDF. Attaching a screenshot for reference.

This is also sticking point for us and we can’t share the charts with our group because of inconsistent color in Bar, Chart and there is no manual picking of colors. Attaching screenshot for reference

The beauty of Monday is its simplicity, colour selection should be baked in from the very beginning. How are we going with this Monday?

[Katinal2 (KATINA EHRMAN)]

do we have a status of when this will be happening in 2024? my leadership team would like to know to see if we are going to wait or look for another product. Thanks

I developed a report for a board meeting and have been requested to make colors match each item on all graphs. I shared that I cannot and was told it is too confusing to share as is (and I agreed). I was then requested to find another way.

I love this tool, but this is a massive disappointment on what is perceived to many as a “why wouldn’t you be able to” issue and makes me look incompetent when presenting reports.

@monday.com any ETA on this one would be greatly appreciated.

[AWallace0013 (Amanda Wallace)]

Does the dev team have an ETA on this? Between this and other limitations (ineffective gantt chart, lack of customization for exports, etc.) we have a pretty long con list that is leaning towards us not renewing and transitioning to a different product.

Is there any update on this feature request? It’s been 3 years already and this basic function is not available yet.

[Julietteb (Juliette)]

HI! I am excited to share that this feature is coming soon! You will see be able to customize chart widget colors. The team is planning start releasing this feature in Q3 along with reordering the chart columns.

Thanks for all your feedback and helping our team bring this feature to life!

How will i use it? I have been trying for over 2 hours now to change the graph colours, without success, though.
Please advise. Thanks.

[gSteve (Steve)]

Dear Juliette, please advise on how to change the chart colours.
Thank you.

[Julietteb (Juliette)]

It is coming soon! Do you already see it in your account?!

[gSteve (Steve)]

I can’t see it, which is why I asked. But thanks.

When I create charts colours are automatically assigned but I have no way of changing that or controlling which are assigned to which option.

I use charts to compare leads and sales stacked by leadsource (Dropdown field). But on all the charts the leadsources all have different colours which is really confusing. Each widget does have a key but naturally if you put 2 charts next to eachother and the colours all contradict it its really tricky for the end user to see quickly what the chart is showing them. Once you associate one colour with one leadsource your brain fills in the gaps and assumes the same applies on others. Would be great if you could select or control the colours for each option.

Hi Juliette,

It’s not available yet in our accounts. Will we get a notification or something when the feature is available? Thank you so much!
