I can't change the color of a ring chart's labels

[Pirulo1234]

Hello everyone.

I've been having some trouble trying to change the color of the labels from a ring chart. As you can see in the attached image, I try to change its color but it doesn't do anything. In fact, when I go to another section and I'm back, the color selected changes to the previous one again. I've figured out that I can change to a bars chart, change the color of the labels, and change to a rings chart... in this case, color changes are applied, but I'd like to find out why the usual way is not working.

Does anyone know if there is a problem in the new version of Power BI or if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks a million in advance.

Hi, you could change your colour by

Visual -> Slices -> Colors

please have a try 🙂

thank you.

Hello Ericwhv.

Thanks for your answer, but what I want to do is not to change the color of the chart's sections, but of the color of the labels which are near those sections. That's what doesnt work (in my PowerBi at least).

General -> Effects -> Background -> turn it on -> change the colour

Hello again, Ericwhv :).

I'm sorry I didn't explain myself correctly... I'm referring to this:

This is what I don't manage to change... in fact, if you see in menu at the right, I've chosen black color, but labels remain blue.

Thanks.

Sorry, i misunderstood your question
honestly, i dont think we can change the backgroud colour of the label, but the colour of the label, sorry, i know it is not helpful

Hello again.

I don't mean changing the color of the background of the font, but the color of the font itself! As you can see in my images, I select a color but the labels don't change!

Hi @Pirulo1234 ,

You could go to

Visual -> Detail labels-> turn it on -> Values -> change the color.
