Color Schemes

Color schemes control the palette used to color data series, nodes, segments, or gradient fills across all BTA visuals. Choosing the right scheme improves clarity and aligns the chart with your brand or report theme.

Available Schemes

All color scheme values are set via the Color Scheme dropdown in each visual's format pane.

Single-Hue Sequential

These schemes ramp from a very light tint to a saturated dark shade of a single hue. They work well for showing magnitude differences — low-to-high, small-to-large.

Value	Light end	Dark end	Best for
`blues`	`#f7fbff`	`#08519c`	Neutral default, works in any context
`greens`	`#f7fcf5`	`#006d2c`	Environmental, financial growth
`reds`	`#fff5f0`	`#a50f15`	Alerts, risk, negative values
`purples`	`#fcfbfd`	`#54278f`	Premium or brand-aligned reports
`oranges`	`#fff5eb`	`#d94701`	Warm accent, energy, conversions
`teals`	`#f0fdfa`	`#0d9488`	Technology, healthcare, data-science
`pinks`	`#fdf2f8`	`#be185d`	Consumer, lifestyle, marketing
`warm`	`#ffffcc`	`#bd0026`	Heat maps, urgency, performance

Multi-Color

These schemes span multiple hues and are designed for categorical data where each series needs a clearly distinct color.

Value	Description	Best for
`rainbow`	Full spectrum red → blue	Many distinct categories
`pastel`	Soft amber → lavender	Presentations, light-background dashboards
`vibrant`	Bright cyan → rose	High-contrast reports, dark backgrounds

Default Value

The default color scheme varies per visual. Most visuals default to vibrant.

Tips

For sequential data (e.g., heat maps, choropleth maps), prefer a single-hue scheme like blues or greens. They carry an intuitive low-to-high reading.
For categorical data (e.g., bar charts with many series), prefer rainbow, pastel, or vibrant so each series is visually distinct.
warm and reds draw attention — use them to highlight risk or urgency, not routine data.
teals and blues tend to be the most neutral and work well in formal business reports.
When using custom brand colors, switch to Data Colors instead and disable the scheme entirely.
