Completely agree. I would also add that there should be a way to customize chart labels. For example, if I want to make a chart for a sawmill, I should be able to specify measurement units (e. g. cubic meters). This is solved quite well in Operations Dashboard there I can write down trailing and leading text.
I am very happy that there are more and more color ramps for charts in ArcGIS Online. However, it is still a necessity rather than a simple wish to have the ability to choose all colors by myself. It applies not only to ArcGIS Online but to Operations Dashboard too.
Starting with the September 2017 update to ArcGIS Online the infographic widget in Web AppBuilder now has an option to use the layer's symbology. For example when configuring the widget for a pie graph you can now find a check box to the user the layer's symbology under the display tab.
Hi KCullen-esristaff,
This is great, but is there a plan to offer this option also when using "Extra Data Sources" (e.g. the output of the query widget)? I use both (the layer and the query output) to be able to compare fish distribution over the whole lake with the distribution of a specific basin (using the query widget). For now the result is this:
Thanks for consideration,

Hi,
Well thats a great feature. I wan't this to work on the charts inside popup windows, alternatively popup panel. Or is there a way of getting the infograph widget to work when i click on a feature, say a roof with solar radiation data to show only when i click on a roof? The infograph shows a sum of all my features in a layer, i wan't it to show based on the attributes of one feature, when i click on it.

Kory Kramer any word on this? It looks like its been Under Consideration since 2012.

Ah, thanks Kory! Didn't realize you were focused on Desktop. That article's a good one!
Katie Cullen We're using story maps for election night results reporting (specifically the story map series, where we can have a tabbed layout to show the results for multiple contests in one app). Having a popup show a pie chart with results for an individual precinct was the only thing that would satisfy my elections staff (see reasons below). But as I'm sure you can imagine, colors on an election map are crucial. If we have red show up for Democratic candidates, we will get all sorts of confusion, and look unprofessional. This change, as far as I'm concerned, is the top priority for our organization.
Reasons for the need for a pie chart in the popup:
Our experience with other arcgis online solutions:
Like I said before, this is very important to our GIS program. Elections are one of our highest visibility projects, so we need to be able to make these maps have the right information and colors. I'm happy to talk more to help you understand our need and why the other solutions aren't working for us.
Hi Andrew Wallick,
Did you try to create multiple dashboards (for each of your different "tabs" or contests and types of charts) and embed them in your tabbed story map? We built such a story map series for a customer. Each tab contained a different type of app (WAB-App, Dashboard, Gallery app, web map...). Unfortunately it's an internal application, so I can not share it, but here's an example where I embedded a single dashboard in a Story Map Cascade (second last chapter): https://arcg.is/amLXn
I don't know if this could be a (intermediate) solution for you?
Looking for the exact same thing.
We have a Solar radiation map showing the solar potential of roofs so that people can see if there is a reason for installing solarpanels on their Buildings.
For this we have 4 kategories, and each a different color. We use a bar chart and well, we get a lot of complain becouse the colors in the pop-up bar chart don't match the color on the map.
Hi Annina,
We are creating an ops dashboard for each tab. That's what gives us the overall count (all precincts totaled) in a pie chart. That's embedded in an iframe on the side panel. So that's working well, but the issue is there's not a way to make that work for the individual precinct level. As you can see below, in the popup we really need the pie chart to show individual precinct results. If the colors were just configurable, that would meet our needs perfectly.
Also a relevant point: our amazing consultant Todd Lighthizer found a way to change the color scheme of the popup at least. I believe you still can't choose the color, but it does give a way to have a more neutral palette.
Here are the themes you can choose:

I haven't learned how to change it yet, but once I know I'll respond back.
Ah, I get your point.
Maybe a bit tedious (while waiting for the ability to change pop up pie chart colours), but in Dashboard you could do the following:
Create a dashboard for each contest (as you do so far but including the map) with one pie chart (showing everything) then activate the selection method in the web map (layer action) and/or a Selector-List with all the precincts with actions to filter the pie chart and the map accordingly.
If you want to compare the total and individual, you create one pie chart for all (without impact on selection) and one with the actions enabled.
You would then embed the dashboards directly in your tabs in the story map (and not use the web map and iframe in the side panel) and you wouldn't use the pie chart inside the pop up.
In my example in the post above I only used the list, but the selection on the map would work as well. I finally left that option aside because it got too complicated. Observe the impact on the pie chart and the map when you select a catchment. There is one pie chart showing the selected areas and one for each using a filter.
If you have a large number of precincts, the option to select on the map would be more appropriate.
Nevertheless, the feature selection tool in the dashboard could be more user friendly than it currently is, because you
a) have to choose the tool first (it's not automatically enabled, if you just click you get the pop up)
b) have to decide to use the point, line, or polygon etc. which is for most users too complicated.
-> IMHO, there should be the possibility to keep just one selection method and enable the tool by default. But this is a story for the ideas page 🙂
I hope you'll find a suitable workaround.
Going back to the original question about customising the colours of a chart in the popup. It still looks that this is not possible and I can't understand how this issue is ongoing for so long. I have a Webapp Dasboard which is fully configurable and all chart colours match the map style colours etc. But the pie chart in the map popups is confusing to the user and I will have to withdraw the chart from the map. Where are ESRI with this development? I should be able to configure these colours to match the map. #NotSmartMapping
I was not able to find Katie Cullen to tag her - but I just wanted to point out that if you have a point layer and choose, "Use Layers Symbology", then the graphic reads all of the colors as black. This works great for polygons, but not for points.
Also, still hoping to see the option reflected in the Charts widget, because this gives more flexibility in multiple options for charts instead of just one - the pie charts in the charts widget are still not set up to reflect layer symbology or allow for customization. It is only the infographic widget that allows for this with certain layers such as polygons and polylines.
I have had the same issue with point features coming out as black when I use the "Use Layers Symbology". I was able to get it to work by resetting the colors in the source web map. Previous the symbology was what was set in the MXD used to publish the map service.
A work around would be to create the graph in a different application and add it as an image in pop-up configuration.
Both in ArcGIS Pro and in ArcGIS online, charts should be configurable, for instance to select colours, axis titles and labels (which are currently frozen and require being hovered on to be visible).
Chart colors should match the colors on the map. It would be great if ESRI would make this happen. Thanks!
I have the same problem, I created a pie chart that I need to match with an specific legend color scheme but I haven't succeeded, I've been even learning some arcade ESRI language to make the changes but I haven't accomplished anything useful. I hope ESRI provides a functionally for this in ArcGIS Online soon.
Nearing the 10th anniversary of this well supported and common sense idea. How much longer will it be "under consideration" for??
@Michael_Kraus hello from 2023 🥱
Same problem, amazed to see that has been asked for 10 years. Really ? I've been working with ESRI product for 20 years and it's always the same thing. Shinny and amazing on paper and near to impossible to implement for silly reasons such this one.
The upcoming October update (< 2 weeks away) will enable custom chart colors in pop-ups. From the recent mailing which I believe was sent to all ArcGIS Online system administrators and those subscribing to AGOL news:
When adding charts to pop-ups, you can now select custom colors and color ramps. You can use this new capability to configure charts to use the same colors which are defined in the data layer styling.
