Never mind, I found a little work around for it. To prevent an Apex Charts gauge in Ignition from resetting after every color change, you write a function inside of color array index 0
function ({value, w}) {if (w.config.series[0] < 55) {return "#00FF00"} else if (w.config.series[0] >= 55 && w.config.series[0] < 80) {return "#FFFF00"} else {return "#FF0000"}}
