The chart colours seem to be preset and random. ![Screen Shot 2021-06-22 at 14.25.34](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/f/6fc2c94b71cbf43fb4166a9c00191e0abd40ac86.png) Is there a way to control the colour? ---

Other than the preset colour schemes, no. For more advanced charting, I’d recommend taking a look at [quickchart.io](http://quickchart.io) Also, see the following topic: > [@heart\_eyes Quickchart.io: the Cloudinary of Charts —on the fly charts!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/quickchart-io-the-cloudinary-of-charts-on-the-fly-charts/15946): > > GAME CHANGER! Stumbled upon this site today—a way to create on the fly charts using data from your Glide tables. Images render instantly and you can select one of 14 different charts, customize colors, styles etc all through URL parameters! The video below shows my first attempt to create a chart from scratch and implement it in Glide. Took me less than 5 minutes. End result: ---

Looks pretty good, except now have to move and format the data for the API… ---

It’s not that difficult, and you can make some very nice looking charts. There are lots of examples in that topic that I linked to. quickchart also has a [sandbox editor](https://quickchart.io/sandbox) that you can use to get the basic structure of your chart, which you can then essentially just plug into a Glide URL column (with a few extra parameters and substitutions). ---
