# Color
Customize the visual appearance of Small Multiple Charts by adjusting background colors, panel styling, and how data is colored across panels. These settings help maintain consistency while improving readability and visual distinction.
***
#### **Background**
Set the overall background color of the visualization.
***
#### **Panel background**
Define the background color for each individual panel to improve separation and contrast.
***
#### **Grid color**
Adjust the color of grid lines within panels for better readability or a cleaner look.
***
#### **Axis color**
Control the color of axis lines and tick marks.
***
#### **Panel title**
Set the color of the panel titles (e.g., Category | Segment).
***
#### **Color by**
Determine how colors are assigned to the charts:
* **Row + Column** – Colors based on the combination of row and column dimensions
* **Row series** – Colors based on row dimension
* **Column series** – Colors based on column dimension
* **Detail series** – Colors based on detail dimension
* **One color** – Applies a single color to all panels
***
#### **Series colors**

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
