Change Background Color for Multiselect Columns in Metric Widget

Hi there!

I'm pretty new to Smartsheet, so wondering about an (apparently) missing feature. I'm aware that in Sheets, multiselect columns options appear in a grey background. The challenge I'm experiencing is that when pulling those values into a dashboard via a Metric Widget, those values appear with a blue-ish/cyan background that I can't seem to be able to change. Is this a limitation?

I thought it was pulling from the Sheet formatting but apparently it does not. Attaching an image to help make sense.

Thanks for any insights!

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to change that color now, but it's an excellent idea!

Given lack of responses I will assume this can't be changed. Just looking for confirmation that this is happening to other users.

Thanks!
