I hope that some people continue to find this level of detail useful. Thanks to both Ken and Daniil for their indirect contributions to this now-data-driven effort. This provides contrast so that the font and background do not blend too much. In this case, Daniil Maslyuk provided the measure necessary to dynamically select the font color based on the background color. If you look at some of the matrix text, you’ll notice that some fonts are black while most are white.

It’s free and easy to use, and I rely on it a lot.īut I no longer need to obtain Power BI Theme colors manually… WHAT? My former colleague Jason Thomas recommended this small app to me years ago when he worked for BlueGranite. It sits in the system tray, and with a simple click, I get any onscreen color value. To do this, I used a tool called Instant Eyedropper. With the earlier updates to my color reference, I had to painstakingly obtain the colors manually. If you want to copy a hex value, right-click on it, then choose Copy and Copy Value. The following embedded report shows all theme colors with their sequence. Power BI now has a lot more themes from which to choose in addition to easily building your own. Last year, I compiled a hex color reference for the (then eight) built-in themes. The Power BI docs provide a great reference to the new options, except they do not include the specific color values for anyone who wants that level of detail. Along with an updated Power BI Desktop ribbon, several additional report themes are now available.
