Hello, is there any way to modify the colour scheme of a bar chart? I am using a bar chart with two different bars in my app, and the preselected colours by Glide are just too close together, so that the chart is basically very hard to read and interpret. Is there a workaround? I would like to change the colour of the second bar to my liking.

You can use custom CSS to select the bar class and change that color!

I would try to do that with Quickchart or Chart.js, Glide’s charts are limited.

Thanks for the suggestion, how would that work?

> 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: [Direct Loom link](https://www.loom.com/share/8a4a2fffcef946a288b5ad53560bc469?sid=9b1e0895-9489-43bb-bab6-97a6e6de45c4)
Here’s an old thread on Quickchart.

Thank you Thinh, very helpful!
On the other side pity that Glide negates such a basic feature…

Yeah, I would expect more from them, maybe just basic stuff like allowing us to change the color palette.
