[Suggestion] Avoid confusing changes in color scheme in visual reports

[twey2]

In visual reports, confusing when color scheme changes from one section to another within the same variable. In the example, one study is in green and the other is in yellow throughout the whole report, except right at the end, both are in yellow in the pie chart. Ideally keep the same color scheme throughout.

Edit: I realize this is related to other cases when the color is tied to a value, but then the the rules are applied inconsistently.

for grouped variable
A decision had been made earlier between two possibilities:
When a graphic shows variable A and variable B grouped by another variable C (lets say a study) then :

EITHER the color refers to the group : The grouping variable has n elements, they the graph shows accross variable A and B always the same color for each n. In that scenario, the first study is green, the second is yellow, the third is red then blue. any additional color will be picked from the rest of the palette
(unfortunatelly, sometimes the color chosen in the palette are not realy different from each other. that will be evaluated in the next version)
OR the color refers to graphic elements : The grouping variable is not taken in account, so the color always refer the variable itself. The first graphic element will always be green, then the second yellow, the third is red, and then blue. any additional will be picked from the rest of the palette.

In the first scenario, MOBYDick will always be green across all the graphs, and N3RO always yellow.
In the second scenario, the first graph of each variable will always be green, the second graph yellow, and rest of them red, then blue, then color picked. Meaning that the graph showing (lets say) a wisker plot will be all green, for both studies.

The decision has been made to consider the first scenario.

(when there is no group, there is nothing to be discussed, the variable A will have each category in a different color).

for the pie chart
It was confusing indeed. The color palette was taken from maelstrom, also used for valid values.

Another color palette has been chosen.
FYI, The colors are always the same. The only mandatory one is for 'NA values' it must be the same in the NA values shown in the bar plot. If you think about a better palette, just tell me.

The new palette for the pie chart works well for me.

For the grouped variable, that is fine. I think it was really just the pie chart that was the most confusing.
