Description

Top n

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Max get a single fixed gray color, and a rule states that the ten items with the highest values in the data get an orange color.

Bottom n

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Max get a single fixed gray color, and a rule states that the ten items with the lowest values in the data get an orange color.

Above x

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Max get a single fixed blue color, and a rule states that the items representing values above average get an orange color.

Below x

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Max get a single fixed blue color, and a rule states that the items representing values below average get an orange color.

2 colors

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Average get a blue color, and items representing values from average to Max get a red color.

3 colors

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing values from Min to Q1 get a blue color, items representing values from Q1 to Q3 get a green color, and items representing values from Q3 to Max get a yellow color. To learn more about quartiles, see Percentiles and Quartiles.

Positive and negative

A color scheme in Segments color mode. Items representing positive values get a green color, and items representing negative values get a red color.

2-point gradient

A color scheme in Gradient color mode with a gradient transition from light blue to dark blue between Min and Max.

3-point gradient

A color scheme in Gradient color mode. Items representing values from Min to 0.00 are colored with a gradient transition from red to white. Items representing values from 0.00 to Max are colored in a gradient transition from white to blue. The Min and Max points are defined with custom expressions to ensure that items representing positive values are always colored in a blue nuance, and negative values are always colored in a red nuance.

Min-average-max

A color scheme in Gradient color mode. Items representing values from Min to average are colored with a gradient transition from green to black. Items representing values from average to Max are colored in a gradient transition from black to red.

Exclude outliers

A color scheme in Gradient color mode. Items representing values from LIF to UIF are colored with a gradient transition from light blue to dark blue. One rule states that items representing values greater than UIF should be white. A second rule states that items representing a lower value than LIF should also be white. To learn more about outliers, see Adjacent Values and Outliers.

Spotfire continuous

The default color scheme for continuous columns.

Spotfire continuous classic

The default color scheme for continuous columns used in Spotfire 6.5 and earlier.

Spotfire categorical

The default color scheme for categorical columns.

Spotfire categorical classic

Blue/Gray/Green categorical

A variant of the default color scheme for categorical columns with only one main color.

Accessible categorical (for light/dark theme)
