Synchronize Data Points Color the same across all widgets on dashboard #8101

What?

Currently, when you have many widgets on a dashboard looking at a data set, the same source can show up in different colors. This can be confusing when doing visual correlation of data, when looking at spikes etc.

In example below, on the pie chart, Orange and Blue are the large slices, but when looking at the line chart, green and blue are the corresponding lines. We need to have a way to get the colors locked in per source/data point.

Why?

This will help the analyst quickly visualize the the data on the screen and make decisions knowing the colors are the same across all data points on the dashboards.

I would also like to add that it would be worth creating some sort of a relationship between the table highlighting rules and the widget/chart colors.

Because currently they to don't really make much sense. This is what we have highlighted: image image

And this is what we have in the chart: image

I can imagine a workaround to manually change the highlighting colors to match the ones in the chart, but not only do chart colors/labels change haphazardly, you can't have green be the color for a major alert. As for brown... while it's our luck that we have it matched with Critical, it quite.. unimposing.
