Series color issue when Binding Chart series to dynamic Data

[Steven]

Hi,

I having an issue with the Chart control. All series columns in the chart are Black but the Legend shows each series with a different color.

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<ViolationsChartModel>()
.Name("ViolationsChart")
.Title("Inspection Results By Year")
.DataSource(ds => ds
.Read(read => read.Action("ViolationsReportChart", "Violations"))
.Group(g => g.Add(v => v.InspectionYear))
.Sort(s => s.Add(v => v.Question))
)
.Legend(legend => legend
.Position(ChartLegendPosition.Bottom)
)
.Series(series =>
{
series.Column(value => value.InspectionPercent, category => category.Question).Name("${group.value}").CategoryField("Question");
})
.ValueAxis(axis => axis.Numeric()
.Labels(lables => lables.Format("{0:P0}").Visible(true))
)
.CategoryAxis(axis => axis
.Visible(true)
)
.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
.Visible(true)
.Format("{0:P0}")
.Template("${series.name} - ${category} - ${value}")
)
) 

If I add .SeriesColors("#cd1533", "#d43851", "#dc5c71", "#e47f8f", "#eba1ad",...) the Legend shows those colors but chart still shows all series as black.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

The second parameter in the series object should be colorExpression not category field. Please modify the chart configuration in the following way and let me know if this will help: 

//....
.Series(series =>
{
series.Column(value => value.InspectionPercent).Name("${group.value}").CategoryField("Question");
})
.SeriesColors("#cd1533", "#d43851", "#dc5c71", "#e47f8f", "#eba1ad")
//....
