QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
What are QuantConnect's default charting colors? They have nice readability, and I'd like to use them for my custom chart Series. Is there anyway I can locate them? I'm not sure what “Color.” values to use. (Python)

QuantConnect's LEAN engine allows you to set custom colors for your chart series. However, the default colors used by QuantConnect for charting are not explicitly mentioned in the provided knowledge sources.
In Python, you can set the color of a series in a custom chart using the
Colorclass from theSystem.Drawingnamespace. For example, in your code, you've set the color toColor.LightBlue.This will create a line series named "Portfolio Value" with a light blue color. You can replace
Color.LightBluewith other color properties of theColorclass to change the color of the series.Unfortunately, without additional information, I can't provide the exact color values used by QuantConnect in their default charts. You might want to experiment with different colors from the
Colorclass to find the ones that best suit your needs.The material on this website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation or endorsement for any security or strategy, nor does it constitute an offer to provide investment advisory services by QuantConnect.
