Is there a way to set the default custom color palette on a dashboard?

We are not a part of the EAP program and recently noticed a new default custom color palette set for net new dashboards. Not seeing any documentation outside of logo and task/background colors that a sys admin can set at the plan level. We would prefer that this be set to follow our company approved colors. Is this a newly released feature? Thanks

    Hi Scot,

    The default theme for all net new dashboards was updated to 'Standard' when the color themes feature was released earlier this year in April (previous default was set to 'Classic'). The colors associated with the theme are available for you in the custom color picker for quick access (this was an enhancement released with the color themes feature). If you change back to the 'Classic' theme, it will match the previous default if this is preferred and you'll see the custom color section update to reflect the colors associated with that theme. The custom color section saves any custom colors you add on that specific dashboard if you choose different colors from the default.

    We do have future plans to support some of the capabilities that you are requesting, some of which are available right now for EAP users with the Custom Themes feature.

    Please let me know if you have any more questions.
