I am not able to change the color of the y axis like I can with the time axis. It is stuck at light grey.

Using the `style` property for each axis, you’ll want to target the `stroke` styles to modify the vertical axis bar.

Thank you for pointing that out. I have to ask though, why is this different than configuring the time axis? It appears that the style–\>stroke works for the time axis too but there is a separate color property for it. Can this be removed to avoid confusion?  
Thanks

The `color` property on the time axis was just put there as a convenience. Some users like to use only the provided properties to adjust the display of the chart (as opposed to specifying style rules). This just provides a simple way to meet both needs. For consistency, we should probably add the `color` convenience property to the `axes` configs so that they match.

Hello,

Very new to ignition here. I also can not change the color and font of the y axis. Could you please explain this step by step. I could not figure which style and stroke it is to change.

Thanks
