maintaining consistent colors across charts

edit: I don't know what the label "7 - Data Storage" means or why it is there - this is about visualization.

Looking for a way to ensure that colors for categories are consistent across charts, to greatly improve the user experience.

For example, if I have two charts: fruit bought and fruit sold:
I would like the column for "apples" to be red in both charts, the column for "oranges" to be orange in both, etc. Even if a fruit is missing from one of the charts.

Obviously, I'd prefer a programmatic solution (If I add a new fruit like "kiwi" I would like it to automatically use the same color in each chart) but I suppose a manual color assignment to each category would be a start. 

Thanks!

    Hi jandrews,

    Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you are looking for a way to assign specific colors to values on a system wide level, rather than on a per-widget basis, is that correct?

    correct, so each widget will have the same colors for the same values.

    Hi jandrews,

    Thank you for following up with me. I don't know of way to do this currently, but it's a great idea! Can you submit this in the Product Feedback Forum? That way other users can vote and comment on it. We use those votes and comments to help us prioritize our development efforts. Who knows, maybe we will see this added in a future release!
