Automating color palette for a condition that has multiple conditions?

ekishab

I am trying to customize the colors in my visualizations and some of my variables have a lot of conditions (20+). I don't want to manually select a color for each of these variables so I was wondering how would I go about doing this?

@ekishab That makes sense. I would have suggested using a chart type with a heatmap, but that would not help with a categorical series. Unfortunately I am not aware of a way to mass update color rules, though with 20+ you may want to just use the default colors.

@ekishab What kind of chart are you using and how complex are the conditions?

I have a pie chart and my variable is a categorical variable (eg: I have a list of dog names and my pie chart is showing which dog name is used the most - this example is similar to what i'm trying to achieve)
