The color palette
-
The main color tool in Flourish is the color palette tool. You can choose from a variety of different palettes by clicking on them, and you can also edit them.
To edit a color palette, click on Edit color palette. This will allow you to rearrange, delete or add new colors. You can add new colors using hex codes, by typing them in or by clicking on the color square and using the color picker.

Color overrides
In the Color overrides text box you can type in the name of series from your data and then a color after it. This will override the color palette. You can specify the color value written out, as a hex code or as an RGB color. Note, this will only work for series, so for entities specified in column headers.
You can also use color overrides as a way to change the opacity of a certain series. To do this, supply a color override in the RGBA format and supply the opacity in the fourth argument. For a completely transparent series, for example, you could use
rgba(0,0,0,0)ortransparent.Learn more about this use case in our help doc about shading between lines.
NOTE: Color overrides are case-sensitive, so if your column is called Column 1, you will have to supply your color override with a capital C.
