In this post, I want to show you how to extract a theme from an image in Google Data Studio. We often find ourselves in situations, where the dashboard look-and-feel needs to align with the client’s brand and style. However, imagine that you have already built a dashboard and you have to now go and change the colour and font of every single table, chart and label. It takes a lot of time if you do it manually, so here is a nifty time-saver tip.
Time Needed : 2 minutes
Extract a theme from an existing, uploaded or web-based image
You can use an existing report as well.
Make sure you do not select any chart or table by clicking in the grey area outside the report.
3.1 Right-click an existing image in your report.3.2 Pick “Upload from computer” and select a locally stored image.3.3 Paste the URL of an image available on the web.
In this case, Data Studio has identified the predominant colours in my image.
You can also edit the newly generated theme further by selecting “Customize”.
I hope this was a helpful design trick in! If you have any questions, feel free to DM me on LinkedIn or subscribe to my newsletter.
