Hi, without any change, color of Headline changed from purple in scheme to black, do you know what could be a issue?

Looking at your screenshots, the Headline metric value changed from purple to black. This is likely related to your complementary palette or theme configuration. Here are the most probable causes: 1. Complementary Palette Change (c9) The
c9
color in the complementary palette controls metric values within visualizations. If
c9
was previously set to purple and has been reset or changed to black/dark, that would explain the shift. [Complementary Color] 2. Theme Reset or Modification GoodData themes override only what you specify — if a theme was modified, removed, or reset, the Headline value would fall back to the base theme default (black). [Create Custom Themes] 3. Priority Resolution The color applied to a Headline metric value follows this priority order: 1. Direct property override (e.g.,
kpiWidget
kpi
value
color) 2. Complementary palette (
c9
) 3. Base theme default (black) [Theme Properties] What to Check 1. Verify your theme JSON — confirm that
c9
(or a direct
kpiWidget
color override) is still set to your purple value. 2. Check if the theme is still applied — go to Settings → Appearance → Theme and confirm your custom theme is active. 3. If you want to explicitly set the Headline value color, you can use:
Copy code
{
  "palette": {
    "complementary": {
      "c0": "#FFFFFF",
      "c9": "#YOUR_PURPLE_COLOR"
    }
  }
}
Or for a more targeted override:
Copy code
{
  "dashboards": {
    "content": {
      "kpiWidget": {
        "kpi": {
          "value": {
            "positiveColor": "#YOUR_PURPLE_COLOR"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
[Headline Comparison Colors] Could you check whether your theme is still applied and share the relevant theme JSON? That would help narrow down the exact cause. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups. 👀 Our Support team monitors all messages and will jump in if needed.

Hi Marketa, happy to help. I believe that you can confirm, that any of the admin did not perform any change, right? When did you noticed the difference? is this happening only in one dashboard/Headline? I would be happy to investigate further, feel free to share the direct link to the insight.

It is happening on childs dashboards, on general - I have purple colors, but in child, there are black ones.
@Mauricio Cabezas ok, it is solved - not sure, why I saw it, but I updated schema, did a hard reset of page reload and I see correct colors

Hi Marketa, is good that was fixed, probably somehow, the schema was changed and you were not aware. Please, if this happened again, feel free to let us know and we will investigate further.

Sooo, in the end the problem now is that, changing scheme, changed also the text in graphs. Before I had different collor for headline text and text in graphs, now there both seem to be controlled by
palette.complementary.c9
. When
c9
is black, the top metrics are black too. When
c9
is purple, chart labels also become purple. Is there a way to style these separately? Desired result: • headline/KPI values:
#5f00f1
• chart data labels:
#000000
Thanks a lot!

I sent desired state in picture (this is how it was). Text on top of graphs black, metricks in purple
vs. now
and in export I see correct colors

Hi Marketa! Interesting that the export shows the correct colors — that suggests the issue might be specific to the live dashboard rendering. We'd like to reproduce it on our end to investigate further (and check if this could be a bug). Could you share your complete theme JSON definition? Feel free to DM it to us. Thanks!
Hi Marketa! Quick update — we managed to reproduce the issue on our end. It turns out
kpiWidget.kpi.primaryMeasureColor
(the theme property that controls KPI headline color independently from chart labels) is not being applied correctly in the live dashboard UI, while the export renders it correctly — which matches exactly what you observed. We'll be filing an internal engineering ticket for this. Could you also confirm two things that will help us investigate further: 1. Were there any changes made to your theme or workspace recently? 2. When exactly did you first notice the color shift? Thanks for your patience, we'll keep you posted!

1. No changes was done before noticing the issue (after I tried some changes), 2. I first noticed it yesterday it think it wasnt present last week

Thanks Marketa, that's very helpful! The timeline you mentioned (fine last week, broken since yesterday) is actually useful context for our investigation. We've submitted an internal engineering ticket and flagged this for the team. We'll update you as soon as we have more info!

Hi @Mauricio Cabezas, just wondering if there are any updates on this investigation. We are seeing the same behaviour. Thanks.

Hi Mark, unfortunately, we don't have an update or ETA to share just yet, the internal ticket has been created, but our development team is currently focused on higher-priority tasks, so this one remains in the backlog for now. We appreciate your understanding and will keep you posted as soon as there's any progress.
Hi, I wanted to inform you that, as mentioned earlier, our development team is focused on higher-priority tasks. Therefore, this internal request remains in the backlog for now. We appreciate your understanding.
