Megan, you will probably have to run a before-render snippet for your charts. It can probably be the same snippet for all the charts. 

Check out the Highcharts API
And this thread (among many others with examples): https://community.skuid.com/t/superbank-chart-options-data-preprocess

Megan.  Here is a before render snippet I use to force bar charts into a particular order and color.  (The color is determined in the style tab of the chart properties)    Be warned that the donut charts are different and I haven’t been able to get this to work for that type.  Dang…

var chartObj = argumentsa0],

	$ = skuid.$,

	s = chartObj.series;

	ind = 0,

//for each series entry grab series id.  Based on id value set ind variable. 

    $.each(s, function (i, s){	

        switch(s.id) {        

        case "Prospecting": ind = 0; break;

        case "Qualification": ind = 1; break;

        case "Needs Analysis": ind = 2; break;

        case "Value Proposition": ind = 3; break;

        case "Id. Decision Makers": ind = 4; break;

        case "Perception Analysis": ind = 5; break;

        case "Proposal/Price Quote": ind = 6; break;

        case "Negotiation/Review": ind = 7; break;

        case "Invoice": ind = 8;  break;

        case "Closed Won": ind = 9;  break;

        case "Closed Lost": ind = 10; break;

        default: ind = 10; 

        }        

// update series index number and color index with ind variable. 

        $.extend(true, chartObj.seriesbi],{

            index: ind,

            _colorIndex: ind

        });

    })

I’ve tried this as a before render snippet on a column chart, but can’t get it to work. Any tips to get this to work?

In case it is useful, here is a snippet approach that seems to work for a donut/pie chart:

var chartObj = arguments[0],

$ = skuid.$,

d = chartObj.series[0].data,

c = '';

colors = [];

//for each data item in the first series, //use the name value to set color (c) variable.

$.each(d, function (i,d){ 

    switch(d.name) {

        case "Under Contract": c = '#ff4550'; break;

        case "Underwriting/Offer Pending": c = '#ff941e'; break;

        case "Tracking - A": c = '#085dcc'; break;

        case "Tracking - B": c = '#8abdff'; break;

        case "Tracking - C": c = '#bcebd2'; break;

        case "Closed": c = '#3cce7f'; break;

        case "Offer Not Accepted": c = '#8273fa'; break;

        case "Passed On": c = '#6458bf'; break;

        case "Under Contract w/ 3rd Party": c = '#acacac'; break;

        case "Other": c = '#5f5d5d'; break;   

        default: c = '#5f5d5d';

    }   

  //add selected color to array.

  colors.push(c);

});

//console.log('colors:');

//console.log(colors);

//replace the chart colors array

chartObj.colors = colors;

Ditto. Thanks Matt i needed that
