Visualization Themes

A visualization theme is an org-level, named color palette that charts and dashboards can inherit. Instead of picking colors per card, an admin curates a small set of palettes for the organization — brand colors, a colorblind-safe set, a muted set for dense boards — and authors point cards or whole dashboards at one.

Palette CRUD

Themes are managed from the org visualization-theme admin surface:

• Create a palette — a name plus an ordered list of colors (the series colors charts cycle through).
• Edit a palette's name and colors. Changes flow to everything that inherits the palette.
• Delete a palette. Assets that referenced it fall back to the org default.

Org default

One palette is the org default — the palette a chart uses when nothing more specific is set. Setting a new default re-skins every chart that hasn't overridden its palette, so an org can restyle its whole analytics surface from one place.

Import / export

Palettes export to a portable definition and import back, so you can move a curated set between installs (dev → prod) or share a brand palette across tenants without re-entering hex codes by hand.

How themes resolve

Color resolution is layered, most specific wins:

1. Per-card — a card's own color_scale / display_options (see Dashboards → Display options).
2. Per-dashboard — a dashboard pins a palette all its cards inherit (card_config.color_theme, Dashboards → Theme override).
3. Org theme — the org default palette documented here.

So an org theme sets the baseline look, a dashboard can override it for one board, and a single card can still opt out.
