Use this procedure to update the default colors used by custom pods and to override color settings made in the Color Configuration tool. You should update the colorConfiguration.properties file when you are not able to customize the colors using the Color Configuration tool. Using this procedure, you update the file colorConfiguration.properties by updating or adding entries for the colors assigned to the category values or the series column names or aliases. If you are performing a new installation of version 7.7, all of the color entries have # symbols at the beginning of each line that must be removed before the color setting can take effect but that must be returned if you want the setting in the Color Configuration tool to take precedence.
