Power BI is not just about charts and visuals—it’s also about delivering a branded, impactful story. One powerful yet underused feature in Power BI is the ability to customize themes using JSON. This is especially useful when creating dashboards tailored to specific national or corporate branding.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
- What is Power BI theme JSON
- How to customize it with brand colors
- How to apply it to your reports.
- And best of all we’re giving away pre-made Qatar and Saudi Brand Theme JSON files for free download (after a quick form submission).
What is a Power BI Theme JSON?
A Power BI theme JSON file lets you define the colors, fonts, and styles of your visuals, tables, and backgrounds. Instead of manually changing visuals one by one, you can apply a unified look across your entire report in seconds.
A typical JSON theme includes:
- dataColors: Your primary palette
- background and foreground: Page colors
- visualStyles: Font and label formatting
- tableAccent: Highlight color for tables
How to Apply a Custom JSON Theme in Power BI
- To get started, Open Power BI Desktop.
- Head over to the ‘View’ tab
