New video! Why I don't color category labels in charts

May 1, 2025 Nick Desbarats

You've probably seen charts where the colors in the chart are identified by coloring category name labels instead using more "traditional" color swatches. I personally don't use this technique in my charts, though. Why not? Find out in my latest video (4 mins); see links below.

Want to learn more skills like these? I'll be teaching my Practical Charts course live online on June 2! Early bird prices end May 9. Info/registration:​https://www.practicalreporting.com/june-2025-online-workshop​
