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. :)

Company logo, customization of site look and feel is required by many Companies/Customers that would be consuming the reports

Also customizing chart titles and measure names would be great.

Definitely it is good to be able to control the color of specific data but it would also help to identify a specific color for an attribute. For instance if reporting by geography, Chicago would always be blue, where as Dallas would always be red in all the charts.

Sometimes it's not about corporate identity or color scheme, it is about exact colors of some data. I can't imagine piechart of UK election results with Conservatives in red, Green Party in violet etc.

We need to be able to make external facing dashboards for our partners - i.e. make dashboards and reports that are designed for external (to our company) consumption.

Custom branding and in general more control over adding elements like text/branding artifacts is a very common request from all customers we have so far shown this solution to.
