How sexy the data looks is sometimes more important than how accurate it is!
I love a light grey/dark grey colour scheme as much as the next person, but it be great to be able to brand the dashboard with the organisation colours/background watermark/logos etc. Maybe offer an option to modify the default CSS used - similar to how blogging sites like blogger allow you to change your page layouts/colours with a simple admin gui or completely change it by rewriting the CSS

Hey everyone - I'm excited to share that we shipped dashboard theming this week: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-dashboard-theming-in-the-power-bi-service/. Give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback! Well, with Power BI, not only keep your data accurate but you can also now make it look - as Jakub originally stated in this idea - sexy. :)

RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
I can understand difficulties in allowing full background customisation given use of Dashboards for mobile purposes and for end user customisation but I wouldn't have thought it a big ask for background colour to be set and/or for tile colours to reflect the origin visualisation background colour.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
This feature is highly needed. Customers need to see the reporting portal as part of Thier systems, with same L&F as well as logo.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
Really need to be able to show a different coloured tile background to enable same charts for different departments to be differentiated
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
This is needed. For others still waiting I have found the following to be a useful work around
A Work around that may be useful in some circumstances.
Using the KPI Indicator Custom Visual will keep its KPI Colour when pinned. You have the ability to set the colours as needed. I usually just set the neutral KPI to what I need.
Viz can be found on the Office Store [KPI Indicator]
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
Yes, this would be great to have in place. Corporate colour schemes are just as important for the background as for the text and numbers.
There really should be a key principle in place in the development team - WYSIWYG - from Power BI Desktop to dashboards in the browser and on the phone (modified of course for the phone).
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
That would be a nice feature
Being able to have a custom backgroud color or Even a backgroud photo or logo
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
When is this issue going to be fixed, Its so annoying to waste time formatting reports only to loose the formatting when you pin visuals to dashboard, we need to have much control on formatting the dashboards please!!
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
A good start for reports however I kind of feel the original poster's idea has been missed (and why it originally got so many votes), it doesn't address theming or branding of dashboards and the rest of the Power BI site. Power BI site should allow for similar branding and theming options as the SSRS 2016 portal.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
This is an important feature. we need to be able to format/style our dashboards.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
Adding an image to the background of the dashboard would immensely help with the presentation of our data. Company is big on branding
