Power BI's visualizations have colors assigned automatically. It should be possible to set a color when a value is reached (e.g. always show negative bars in red) or for a particular color in a legend (e.g. always show Microsoft datapoints as blue)

IT would be nice to have Red, Yellow, green be assigned by a value

Additional to customization with colors, it would good if we have option to show/hide data labels, title, legends like we have in powerview.

I was very excited about this product until I read this post. Agree with everybody that came before me: not being able to assign colors is a show stopper. Period.

What is the release date for this update? Colors are critical to BI

Along these same lines it would be useful if you could customize the axis in terms of fixed or floating scales in addition to the formatting of the text. On my line charts the scale changes from product to product and "breaks" the continuity of the presentation.

Fully agree with this improvement. It is a show stopper for corporates if you cannot decide on your own colour theme.
This is also very important because the same measure should be in the same colour wherever it appears on the dashboard, reports or other visualisations.

Honestly, we're dropping PowerBI usage just because we can't customize this as per our Corporate UI Standards. When complete, can you please inform and we can evaluate again?

RANT 'alerts'
How come MSFT did not pick up on this before? This should be a top priority and should be pushed to Power View on-prem.
