The way colors are assigned to charts in reports is based on the number of the answer options. We have alternately shaded our charts by default.

For example the answer selected the most is always blue, the second most answered option is always green, etc. If you wish to add more contrast to the shading you can do so using a little CSS.

To change Chart colors:

1. Go to the Analyze Results tab.
2. Click the Question Summaries.
3. Then click  on the upper right corner of the question.
4. Select the chart type you wish to edit. For example the Horizontal Bar Chart.
5. Click Colors. The first color in the row corresponds with the first answer choice in the data table. Click the color block to edit the color. You can choose from the color picker available.
6. Once you have chosen a color, click it and the new color will be shown in the graph.
7. Export the question summary data to preview the new colors.
8. The changes are automatically saved.
