Manually setting color sets using JSON-based config not working

[davidliang2008]

Based the JSON-based config tutorial, it looks like you can set a hard-coded list of colors globally for the chart: https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/concepts/json-config/#Structure_of_JSON_config

{
  "colors": {
    "list": ["#ff0000", "#00ff00", "#0000ff" ]
  }
}

There is also a documentation stating you can assign colors to the series: https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/concepts/colors/#Manually_setting_color_sets

{
  // ...
  "series": [{
    // ...
    "colors": [{
      "#845EC2",
      "#D65DB1",
      "#FF6F91",
      "#FF9671",
      "#FFC75F",
      "#F9F871"
    }]
  }]
}

Both cases don't override the default color set.

Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like there are two issues: documentation is wrong and there's a bug that prevents it from working :)

I updated the docs. It should say this:

{
  // ...
  "series": [{
    // ...
    "colors": {
      "list": [
        "#845EC2",
        "#D65DB1",
        "#FF6F91",
        "#FF9671",
        "#FFC75F",
        "#F9F871"
      ]
    }
  }]
}

Also, fixed bug in dev version. New version will be released within 1-2 days.

Will ping you once that happens.

Fixed in 4.0.0-beta.85.

[4.0.0-beta.85] - 2018-11-20

Added

• "ready" event added to Sprite. Sprite fires it right after "init" event. Container fires it when all of its children are ready.
• system.isPaused property added. Setting it to true will effectively pause any chart activity, making them completely static.
• ErrorBullet class added. Allows drawing error charts. (Check error-chart and xy-error-chart examples for code samples)
• JSON: String-based cursorOverStyle and cursorDownStyle are not supported.

Fixed

• JSON: Setting ColorSet properties baseColor or list was not working properly.
• Accessibility: Legend item was not properly referring to a Series via labelled-by.
• Label.wrap was breaking lines mid-word even if there where words that would fit into alotted space.
• Memory leak fixed.
• Sometimes Animation was not firing "animationended" event (when elastic easing was used).
