I do wonder if there is any way to filter for the most accessible palettes? e.g ones that are the greatest for Colour Vision Deficiencies?

Miller Stone is also my fav default pallet btw. One hint for those who are copying and adding like I did to their .tps file...watch out for single vs double quotes!

Create a param with the options. Then create a calculated field referring to that parameter. Then drop that on the detail card, then click the icon to the left and change it to color. You can have multiple pills on the color card (though you need to first add to detail as described above). By doing that, you can specify different colors for each dimension.Ken Flerlagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698843288892226027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178813192704651028.post-23669933068580239452021-12-21T18:23:34.366-05:002021-12-21T18:23:34.366-05:00Do you have any good mechanisms for allowing an en...Do you have any good mechanisms for allowing an end user to select/change the color palette on a dashboard? I have a color blind related use case and the workarounds (duplicate data source/duplicate measures) I've found so far create downside. Basically, I want to use a default palette per requirements but allow color blind users the ability to change to Tableau's color blind palette. I'd like to offer this solution within the workbook itself and not via javascript api/embedding if that's possible.Timbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198082396839184998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178813192704651028.post-43412625942340132012021-12-21T18:20:09.521-05:002021-12-21T18:20:09.521-05:00Have any good instructions/posts involving allowin...Have any good instructions/posts involving allowing end users to change a color palette on demand. I have a use case involving allowing color blind users to change the palette to something more interpretable for them but still default to the specific color palette in our requirements. All the workarounds I've found involve things like duplicate datasources and/or duplicating measures; which create downside.
