# Data Visualization Settings

### Data Color Palettes

There are multiple types of color palettes to provide flexibility and simple application.

**Discrete Colors** is a set of 8 colors that can be selected from when only one color is required for the presented data.

**Color Schemes**

* **A categorical Scheme** is a set of 6 colors that will be applied to dimensions or categories. When a visualization needs more than 6 colors Verb will extend the scheme by darkening then lightening the colors.
* **A Sequential Scheme** must have at least 2 colors but may have more colors in the sequence. When the scheme is applied to a visualization Verb will calculate the number of colors required and select colors that are equidistant in the sequential palette. 

**KPI Colors** are applied to the KPI type tile text, icons and values. 

**Other Colors** give options to control the empty state color on visualizations and text colors when comparison and conditional values are used. 

### Visualization Fonts 

Visualization fonts are the properties used across all tile types. By default, the properties will inherit from the General Canvas configuration but they may be overridden.
