Our team would find it immensely useful to build a dashboard theme (choosing font face, font size, colors) from scratch. We strive for cohesive branding on things we build and being able to change the entire look and feel of a dashboard with just a few clicks would save us a lot of time.

Provide ability to import custom colors into your dashboard that align with corporate branding.
Possibly via a CSV file or text string such as #FA4C30,#000000,#B5BFC9,#FD90FF,#FF005C,#FF8937,#DD0002,#5A003A,#003BD3,#00BC00
Thanks,
You can add custom colours to a Dashboard already!
Once you've added a colour to a widget, it will be available to select in all the other widgets on that Dashboard. Here's a webinar on the feature: Upgrade Your Dashboards with a New Look, Custom Colors, & More
If I've misunderstood your request, could you explain a little further?
Thanks!

My description of the request wasn't very good.
It would be really convenient if you could import your custom color pallet globally so it's available on all dashboards, highlights, etc.
Thanks,
Thank you for clarifying!

Just to give you more insight.
We have 10 custom colors in or corporate brand. I'm currently re-branding our intake dashboard which has 9 metric widgets across the top that open other dashboards with details regarding the represented data. So I'll have to manually enter our color codes 100 times, and this is only for our intake reporting, I also have our portfolio reporting and X number of other dashboards and reports to update.
Very painful.
We are an enterprise level customer and having an enterprise level color pallet would beneficial.
I upvote this idea. It is an agonizing process to add corporate brand colors to each dashboard when a new dashboard is created. I hope Smartsheet has taken this issue into consideration for version updates.
PLEASE PLEASE provide additional font choices and smart art, clip art libraries, especially when designing dashboards.
This idea of themes was announce as upcoming for 2 years in a row at ENGAGE, and 2 years ago at the innovation/idea lab area it was said there would be a phased roll-out which would include giving the user the ability to create their own themes.
It would save a lot of unnecessary/tedious effort if we had the option to update all text within a dashboard (titles, legends, axis labels, etc.) to the same font without having to update each individual text field's formatting manually.
@jlyon1 to apply styling to multiple widget at once you can use our multi-widget edit feature. Multi-select your widget or select all and in the edit panel any changes you make will apply to all your widgets.
I definitely upvote this idea.
The way to reduce the pain for me has been to create one template dashboard with all the colors I need. When I want to create a new dashboard, I save it "as New" and start from there.
It would be nice to be able to adjust sizes of fonts in the graphs. For example, the labels on the graphs below all overlap each other and look so bad, we can't have these data labels on and have these graphs customer facing. Comment other things you'd like to see added to visual settings.
Presently create a template dashboard and copy for new additional ones required - a feature to retain brand colours and theme would be great!
Happy to see this idea has made it to the roadmap. Looking forward to it's release!
Also, super frustrating when you've done all the manual work, and when the value (i.e. chart) drops to zero it is forgotten and when there's a value again it returns as a random (usually orange!) color.
