Being able to set transparency for Colors. RGBA or equivalent is extremely critical visualization tool. This is very helpful when you want to layer visualizations on top of each other. Ex.

Transparency is really needed - especially for stacked area charts. Otherwise the features of BI are lost because the charting cannot result in clean output

Really need transparent color to get around some of the limitations in charting.

Please improve data colours options and include transparency. It is a fundamental feature in building charts.

RE: Set transparency for colors in Power BI

Totally agree. As far as the line and clustered column vis is concerned I'm looking at a chart with a dual y axis and the only way of correcting this is to bring the line in to make my budget at the same scale as the actuals. If I could just have a colour that was nondescript (or invisible) this would solve my problem.

I agree! Transparency for color or transparent color in data color and line color is very very helpful for making customized chart easily!
