Am I doing something wrong? I can change the font and font size of the chart title with a style class, but it seems to ignore font color…it seems to be following a default color of some kind even though the color property is blank (it still shows that grey color)?

What if you delete the `color` key from the font object entirely? Or, if that starts yelling at you, set it to `inherit`?

I had tried deleting it and that didn’t do anything. Inherit did change it, but to black, not the color specified in the style class… 🤔

Try opening your chart view in the browser, then use the dev tools (Ctrl + Shift + I) to see the inheritance stack and where the gray/black is coming from. It’s possible a global style (something you could override through Perspective theme-ing) is set to a higher precedence than your style class rule.

Ah, good idea. Turns out “fill” is the correct parameter for a chart title, not font color when using a style class (though for inline style font color is what works).
