About the palette

Spring Bloom leads with a leaf green #4E8F3A on a pale green page #F8FBF5, then peony #C2547A, brick #B85A3A and honey #C2842E. Trebuchet MS headings keep it light for hiring campaigns, graduate intakes and spring promotions.

Leaf green is also close to the good colour #3E7F2E, so pick the lead for the measure where up is good. Violet #8A5AB5 and teal #2E8F8A break up the warm colours. Text is #17200F at 16.8:1.

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 (7 hue families); add data labels to the pairs listed below.
  • Thin line charts and sparklines on white cards: every chart colour reaches 3.1:1 or more.
  • Variance charts, waterfalls and KPI deltas: good #3E7F2E and bad #B8384E are 118° apart in hue.

Colour-vision simulation

  • Protanopia: series 1 and 4 (#4E8F3A, #C2842E)
  • Deuteranopia: series 1 and 3 (#4E8F3A, #B85A3A); series 2 and 6 (#C2547A, #2E8F8A)
  • Tritanopia: series 1 and 6 (#4E8F3A, #2E8F8A); series 2 and 3 (#C2547A, #B85A3A)
  • Give those series data labels or direct labels instead of relying on the legend.

A Power BI funnel visual titled "Hiring funnel". It sits in a 376×448 px slot on a designed report page.

Questions about this theme

Is the Spring Bloom 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 5 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 Spring Bloom theme use?

It uses Trebuchet MS 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.
