jqxChart series of 6th series takes the same color as first one

[Abhishek PandyaParticipant]

Please look at the following jsfiddle chart example.
I have 6 series in column chart and the color of the first and sixth series is same (or at least it looks same with naked eye)

https://jsfiddle.net/f8bvh070/1/

Please note, in my chart i am having generating series dynamically and I have given user, an ability to change color scheme so I may not be able to supply hard coded color of a specific series.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Abhi

Hello Abhi,

Thank you for the interest.
You could create a custom color schemes for your needs.
Another approach will be to use colorFunction callback function that you could implement to each one series and add the desired color.
Please, take a look at this topic:

Also, I would like to say that you could use getColorScheme method and could check them and rearrange it:
var schemeColors = $('#chartContainer').jqxChart('getColorScheme', 'scheme01');

Hi Hristo
Thanks for the suggestions. In my scenario, I have a dropdown with all the color scheme defined and end user selects the color scheme.
So not sure how much I can use from your suggestions? Besides I don’t have fixed number of series, Series gets created dynamically based on data too

even getColorScheme method returns the first 5 colors of the scheme so not sure either, how can I change the color of 6th series in particular?

Regards,
Abhi

Hello Abhi,

I would suggest you another way it is a little bit harder but you have full control is to set your color scheme.
On that way, you are sure there are no repeated colors and they will be in the desired consistency and colorfulness.
