Kibana Visualizations changing color on refresh [OPEN BUG]

[gotjoshua]

It seems that if you don't manually set the colors on a chart, they will randomize on each refresh:

Is this feature or bug?

I would expect that kibana would choose random colors from a pleasing palette once upon chart creation, and then remember them for the sake of consistency.

Hi @gotjoshua,

if I'm not mistaken the color palette is derived from the visualization configuration. If that doesn't change, neither should the colors. Sounds very similar to this issue. To work around this you could try to set some default colors using the advances setting visualization:colorMapping.

colors that aren't specifically pinned are random
