Can we change the text color of values displayed on charts like bar graph? Can I remove the shadow displayed around the text?  
I am using the kibana version(7.12.1).

Hi @Rachitha that's not currently possible. We have discussed reducing/removing the shadow automatically, but we have no plans to make the shadow or text color customizable. Other than white or black, why would you change the color?
