# Customizing chart colors

Within a Toucan app, you can specify colors at the chart level to even go further with customization.

To perform that, you can access a dedicated interface next to the chart configuration.

We just see how to easily customize data series. Let's see how we can customize colors based on labels.

### Advanced color customization

In the "Style" tab, you can find an "Advanced" button that you can click and that will open a modal. In this modal, you can find two sections:

1. **Exhaustive color series**: allows you to personalize colors for many series very precisely.
2. **Color labels:** allows you to specify a color for a given label

These customizations will be scoped and local to these chart-specific colors and won't modify other charts. To change the main chart theme, you can always do it at the [app level](/visualizations-and-layouts/apps/customizing-apps/customizing-chart-color-elements.md).

Let's dive in on the color labels customization:

*We will use the example of a chart with fantasy political parties to highlight how colors can be important as they directly convey information the user understands.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs-v3.toucantoco.com/visualizations-and-layouts/creating-visualizations/customize-charts/customizing-chart-colors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
