Brand colors & themes
Create on-brand visualisations, repeatedly.
Keep approved colours within reach, apply palettes to charts, and turn one base colour into a coordinated theme for multi-series visualisations.

Why it matters
Brand consistency should not rely on remembered hex codes.
When analysts rebuild colours by hand, small differences spread across reports. The visual language becomes inconsistent and every new chart creates another round of checking.
Lightchart keeps palettes and themes in workspace settings, making repeatable colour decisions part of the workflow rather than a final clean-up task.
How it works
Two ways to make colour repeatable.
- 1
Save colour palettes
Create multi-colour palettes in workspace settings or start from the supplied defaults, then use those colours across your charts.
- 2
Apply a palette
Bring a consistent set of approved colours into a visualisation instead of finding and entering each value again.
- 3
Build a theme from one colour
Choose a single base colour and Lightchart generates a coordinated monochrome ramp, useful for multi-series charts and restrained visual systems.
- 4
Reuse workspace settings
Return to saved palettes and themes whenever a new report needs the same visual language.
Palettes and themes
Related tools with different jobs.
A palette is a reusable set of colours. A theme starts with one base colour and generates a monochrome ramp, helping related series feel coordinated without manually choosing every shade.
This is focused colour management rather than a complete brand-kit platform: it does not currently manage logos, brand typography or organisation-wide design rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can I save several palettes?
Yes. Workspace settings support saved colour palettes as well as supplied defaults.
How are chart themes created?
Choose one base colour and Lightchart generates a monochrome ramp for the theme.
Does changing a palette update every existing chart?
No automatic global propagation is promised. Apply the relevant palette or theme where you want it used.
