About the palette
Rose Quartz leads with rose #B8456B on a blush page #FCF5F6, then moss #8C8C3A and iris #8B6BB8. Georgia headings make it feel considered, a good fit for people analytics, culture surveys and recruitment reports.
Amber #B7792E, sage #4F8B5C and blue #5C6AA8 complete the main list. Some pairs sit close in lightness, so the colour-vision result on this page recommends data labels for stacked charts. Text is #24161A at 17.4:1. Moss is an unusual second colour for a rose palette, which is the point: it keeps a two-series chart readable without falling back to blue.
Palette profile
Computed from the colours on this page, not written by hand: hue spread, lightness range, contrast and a colour-vision simulation of the first six chart colours.
Best for
- Clustered and stacked charts with up to six series (8 hue families); add data labels to the pairs listed below.
- Thin line charts and sparklines on white cards: every chart colour reaches 3.5:1 or more.
- Variance charts, waterfalls and KPI deltas: good #3E7F57 and bad #B3261E are 140° apart in hue.
Colour-vision simulation
- Protanopia: series 2 and 4 (#8C8C3A, #B7792E); series 2 and 5 (#8C8C3A, #4F8B5C); series 3 and 6 (#8B6BB8, #5C6AA8); series 4 and 5 (#B7792E, #4F8B5C)
- Deuteranopia: series 1 and 5 (#B8456B, #4F8B5C); series 2 and 4 (#8C8C3A, #B7792E); series 3 and 6 (#8B6BB8, #5C6AA8)
- Tritanopia: series 2 and 3 (#8C8C3A, #8B6BB8); series 5 and 6 (#4F8B5C, #5C6AA8)
- Give those series data labels or direct labels instead of relying on the legend.

Is the Rose Quartz theme accessible?
Yes. Text and muted text meet WCAG AA (4.5:1) on both the page and card colours, and every data and status colour reaches at least 3:1 against the cards. In a colour-vision simulation 9 pairs among the first six chart colours look alike; the palette profile lists them so you can add data labels. The full contrast table is on this page.
Which fonts does the Rose Quartz theme use?
It uses Georgia for headings and Segoe UI for body text. All of them are in Power BI's own font list, so the report renders the same in Power BI Desktop and in the Power BI service.
How do I import a theme JSON into Power BI?
In Power BI Desktop go to the Design ribbon → Import theme and select the downloaded .json file; in the Power BI service use View → Theme pane (older Desktop builds: View → Themes → Browse for themes). The data colours, text classes and visual defaults apply to every page of the report.
Which theme JSON schema do these themes use?
They are compiled against the current report theme schema (reportThemeSchema-2.159) and include name, dataColors, background, foreground, tableAccent, good/neutral/bad, textClasses and visualStyles.
