Customizing Colors

SAS Web Report Studio enables you to customize colors anywhere that you can change a color. For example, you might want to use a custom color if your company always uses a company-specific color in its reports.

You can customize a color using the Color value field in any color palette. The color value must be a six-digit, hexadecimal number specified in an RGB (red, green, and blue) format. The first two digits are the red value, the second two digits are the green value, and the last two digits are the blue value. You can specify a value from 000000 (black) to FFFFFF (white).

Type a value in the Color value field and press ENTER. You must press ENTER so that SAS Web Report Studio can validate the color. If there is a problem with the color value, then an error message appears, and the value returns to its previous state. If you do not press ENTER, then the customized color is not applied.

Note: A number sign (#) always appears before the six numbers or characters in the Color value field. The number sign is added when you type only six characters in the field.

In the following example, a user has specified a custom color for the border of a progressive bar chart.
