Customizing the colors of individual series in HighCharts

Question

I am using HighCharts for a line graph and i am attemping to change the line color for each series. I did find this example here but the data is hard coded. My data is pulled fr

Answer 1

The color can be configured as part of the series. Try something like this:

series: [
    {
        name: 'series I',
        color: '#ffffff',
        data: [17.4, 16.1, 19.45, 24.15, 28.44, 33.15, 37.2, 41.25, 43.3]
    }
];

See the code (and the plot that it renders) below.

The snippet below is a complete script--i.e., either put it in your markup between two script tags or as a stand-along js file with an includes in your markup.

Colors is a Chart object so the easiest way is to pass an array of colors (as hex strings):

 $(function () {
    var chart;
    $(document).ready(function() {
        chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
            chart: {
                renderTo: 'container',
                type: 'line'
            },
            colors: ['#562F1E', '#AF7F24', '#263249', '#5F7F90', '#D9CDB6'],
            title: {
               text: false
            },
            yAxis: {
                title: {
                    text: false
                }
           },
           series: [{
                name: 'series I',
                data: [17.4, 16.1, 19.45, 24.15, 28.44, 33.15, 37.2, 41.25, 43.3]
           },
           {
                name: 'series II',
                data: [13.19, 17.23, 25.74, 28.5, 33.9, 35.62, 37.0, 36.6, 34.82]
           }
           ]
        });
    });
})

Top level config can contain colors field. It's an array from which series colors will be picked.

See here.

Here's working piece from my project

var chart;
$(document).ready(function () {
    chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
        chart:{
            renderTo:'perfchart',
            type:'line',
            marginRight:130,
            marginBottom:25
        },
        colors: ['#0000FF', '#0066FF', '#00CCFF'],
        title:{
            text:'Historical system performance',
            x:-20 //center
        },
