How sexy the data looks is sometimes more important than how accurate it is!

I love a light grey/dark grey colour scheme as much as the next person, but it be great to be able to brand the dashboard with the organisation colours/background watermark/logos etc. Maybe offer an option to modify the default CSS used - similar to how blogging sites like blogger allow you to change your page layouts/colours with a simple admin gui or completely change it by rewriting the CSS

Hey everyone - I'm excited to share that we shipped dashboard theming this week: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-dashboard-theming-in-the-power-bi-service/. Give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback! Well, with Power BI, not only keep your data accurate but you can also now make it look - as Jakub originally stated in this idea - sexy. :)

RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)

This would be very nice for our different clients with Power BI. They all want reports and dashboards in organisation colors.

This would be like re-branding the PowerBI Site with the customer site. This can be made a feature for additional cost or some segment of users. My customers are ready to pay for this, but its just not possible today.
would be great to have it.

I hope the development is not limited to dashboards, but applies to reports as well.

Can MSFT allow us to import MS Office themes into Power BI? That would be a killer feature.

To see what I mean:

1. Run PowerPoint
2. Click the DESIGN tab
3. Under THEMES click the MORE drop-down arrow.
4. You will see an option to save the current theme as an Office Theme file.

Please allow fur custom colour themes (both personal by each user, and system-wise set by the organisation). Also please allow organisation to change the default colour scheme.

Should we just assume this isn't actually happening then or...?

Attention Will Thompson, it's not hard to notice that your "Under Review" was posted way back on Jan 22, 2015 and today is September 17, 2017 = 9 full months! In between, Power BI.com has officially launched on July 24, 2015 and can we please have an "update" on this whole "colors and theming" request?

RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)

Yes please! I was coming here to submit a suggestion for an 'art board' style setup for dashboards as in photoshop, but CSS might be easier to incorporate and more powerful for users.
