Get your Power BI IBCS(R) Color Theme for free

IBCS suggests that colors and fills should not be used for decorative purposes in the design of reports, statistics, and presentation materials. Instead, colors and fills should support the communication process, i.e. clarify the respective content. (R) IBCS.

Since the standard Power BI theme does not fit the IBCS standard very well, I created a JSON file with the most important colors, which could look like this (expand):


{ "name":"IBCS",
"dataColors":["#808080", "#BFBFBF", "#8CB400", "#FF0000", "#AA8C00", "#0064FF", "#66A4FF", "#FF008C"]}
