Using: v 8.17.4  
I would like to create a new color palette or update the default color palette with my clients brand colors.  
I can see I can edit a panel (pie chart) and click on the Color mapping. I can choose from the palettes set colors or choose a custom color. If I choose a custom color this doesn't get reflected on my other panels, even though I clicked the option to "Sync color palettes across panels".  
What are my options for setting a color palette that gets reflected across my dashboard panels?

Hi @Robin_Gorry

there's an existing feature request already about it you can track here: [[Lens][Color mapping] Palette authoring · Issue #172139 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/172139)

Thank you for your reply @Marco_Liberati.  
So my understanding is that the ability to create and control color palettes doesn't currently exist.  
What does the setting option to "Sync color palettes across panels" do?

The `Sync color palettes across panels` is a setting that makes dashboard panels sync a palette across different charts in some conditions (i.e. same breakdown configuration in multiple panels).  
It is in discussion to deprecate it for something better as proposed here: [[Dashboard] Deprecate `syncColors` option · Issue #200272 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/200272)  
It won't be dropped until a solid replacement is found, so it can still be used.
