I have recently started working with Kibana version 7.17.3 and have two issues that I need help with. Firstly, I want to create a custom color range for a pie chart. Specifically, I want to use shades of red for each slice, with darker shades for the top slice and lighter shades as we move down. Currently, Kibana has a default color range called "negative" which starts with a light shade of red and goes to dark, but I want the opposite.
Secondly, I have a problem with resizing pie charts in a dashboard. When I try to resize the chart, it becomes smaller, but the legend stays the same size. I don't understand why this is happening.
I would appreciate any help or guidance on these issues. Thank you!

Hi @Rama_Krishna2
welcome to the Kibana community.
It is not possible yet to customize the palette in a pie chart. There's an issue here about enhancing the current palette "experience" in Lens which might be tracked for future progress: [[Lens] Color mappings MVP · Issue #155037 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/155037)
As for the resizing, the legend font is set to a fixed size in that kibana version. In 8.1 and newer versions has been introduced a way to change a bit the legend size to small/medium/large sizes.
Also in 8.1 the pie chart will make a better usage of the available space in the panel.
