Custom Color Themes
Custom color themes can be applied in the same way as built-in color themes:
• You can select custom color themes as defaults from the Continuous Color Theme and Categorical
Color Theme drop-down menus in the Graphs preferences. Only continuous color themes are available
for continuous data. All color themes are available for categorical data.
• You can apply the custom color themes to components such as markers and data table rows. See “Assign
Colors or Markers to Rows Based on Column Values” on page 134 for details.
• In certain reports, such as treemaps and surface plots, you can select specific custom color themes. See
the Basic Analysis and Graphing book for details.
Use Custom Color Themes on Multiple Computers
In Windows, the color themes that you create are defined in the JMP preferences file called JMP.PFS. If you
use JMP on more than one computer (for example, at home and at work), you can copy the color theme
definitions from one JMP preferences file to another. Custom colors are then available on both computers.
In the preferences file, the code for a custom color theme looks like this:
Add Color Theme(
{"Pink to Blue", {{255, 168, 255}, {255, 0, 255}, {0, 128, 255}}}
),
In this example, the name of the color theme is “Pink to Blue.” The Red/Green/Blue (RGB) values for each
color slider are located in brackets. The first slider defines the RGB values 255, 168, and 255. The second
and third groups of brackets define colors for the second and third sliders.
