    Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

    I don't believe they were talking on the template or theme level. More like if country was a dimension, any time Canada would be represented in a bar or line plot, it would be a red bar or line. Mexico would be a green bar or line, etc. Could do it with some DAX and rules if the Data Color property had conditional formatting.

    Filter to show the graphics as they appear to a color blind user?

    Do Templates and Themes not accomplish what you are looking for?

    Being able to conditionally format all my graphics (shapes) and text for KPI thresholds is critical.
    Please add this feature ASAP

    I want to vote for this. I like that I can make a conditional variable that assigns a color code to conditionally format a table column, but it's a serious flaw that I can't apply that same formatting to data colors of bars and pie charts.

    I can't believe there are only 65 votes on this. I'm sure majority of users deal with this. Tableau has this feature and saves a lot of time...
