You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

The JSON file can be created anywhere, but JSON Editor Online is an easy website to use.
Sadly Power BI can only read the HEX system, and not the word chocolate. To change your colours to hexadecimal click on the coloured box:
Clicking Ok will switch the colour into its HEX counterpart. In this case the green liquor becomes #7fff00ff. Since Power BI can only read 6 places of HEX this is then stored as #7fff00.
Save the JSON file, then from the Home tab choose Switch theme followed by Import theme:
The colour choice actually worked better than you might have expected! We needed another 2 colours to complete the pallet, so Power BI has added two extras.
Optionally save this as Collecting C Colours and then close it down.
