It should be possible to specify set of colors to be used wrt data bound to the visual.

For example, a line graph that has 10 legends will pick the colors from the data colors specified in the theme. If I need to associate colors by data category there is no way it can be configured when there is a possibility that we get to see values different from design time (in DEV environment).

Currently there is no way to determine the colors that would be selected by the visual.

Similarly, I have various measures that are displayed depending on the customer (I.E. what is most important to view for that customer), so there is a measure to ID priority. I'd like to conditionally format the line color based on the priority of that customer. If a true by condition configuration box was available I'd be done already.

yes, the idea that we could associate a standard color to a product line or other category would be great!
