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?)
Almost 3 years under review? Could you perhaps elaborate on the key considerations which have led to a 35-month+ decision cycle?
This is disheartening and yet another very, very basic omission. These are all stacking up and slowly eroding the usability of the application.
I have a report with a dark background and light text, and pinning the visuals onto a white dashboard means that the data is not visible. So I now have to either redesign the colour scheme (which goes against our company branding - and also obviates the time I've spent to date getting it on-brand) or just pin as a live page, which isn't really favourable as I just want headline figures and not the slicers et al.
So many silly little things (add 'no duration data type' to this list) missing that make me look bad and consequently lead to the board questioning the validity of this tool if it fails to handle such basic requirements as 'dashboard without a white background'.
Very, very poor show. It's all well and good adding extensive functionality with each release, but it's these elementary inclusions that are stark in their absence - and could lead to being dealbreakers.

This is very basic, and a must have feature.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
Retaining color scheme in dashboard tile is an essential feature. Please include it in upcoming releases on priority.

I kind of just wish Microsoft used a more contrasting color palette for the visualizations/filters area that I could actually read without squinting (I don't need glasses). grey on grey is not exactly the ergonomic color scheme of choice these days.

is need it
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
This needs to happen you put a massive amount of effort into getting the formatting just right to add it to a bland dashboard... not great.
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
Hi, I think it needs to go a bit further. E.g. all my visuals to have borders, all my matrices to be formatted with alternating rows and so on. Nevertheless what's been done so far is helpful.

Just seen your fantastic webinar on how to design visually stunning reports / dashboards in Power BI - but it is a waste of time as I can't change any of the colours on the dashboard itself - poor show Microsoft :(
RE: Custom branding/colour scheme of dashboard (custom css?)
The most recent response from Admin is in regards to color Themes within reports/dashboards, but from what I've read on this thread is that most people are looking for branding capabilities similar to what is available for SQL Server Reporting Servers and their post "Branding the web portal" that was post two weeks ago.

Dashboard background customization with colour is needed
