#Tableau

Tableau comes with some great color palettes that have been designed to work well together. And you can add your own custom color palettes by making a couple of simple changes to the preferences.tps file that comes with Tableau Desktop. For example, you may have a color palette that matches your company’s brand.
In this video I show you how to add 3 different types of color palettes to Tableau:
1. Categorical
2. Sequential
3. Diverging
You can add as many color palettes as you’d like. While you can have as many colors as you want in each palette, the Color shelf only displays 20.
Once you’ve updated the preferences file, restart Tableau and they’ll all be there for you.

Hi Andy, great and very useful tutorial! One quick question: I know you have said we can use any text editor, but I was just curious what's the name of the text editor you used. Thanks!

[@anamikakumari4714]

Hi Andy- Thank you for sharing such awesome content! I followed exact process to assign my team palette colors. However, when I save it and reopen Tableau it gives me error message: Unable to complete action
There is an error parsing Preferences.tps. This can occur if quotation marks other than basic single quotes (') or double quotes (") are used around attribute names. Until this is corrected, Tableau Desktop will use the default color palettes. Can you please help resolving this error thanks!

[@vizwiz]

Make sure you haven't copied in the ' or " into the preferences file. Sometimes those get read strangely. Try typing them in instead.

[@MAMAKIJAANGUGU]

I downloaded tableau public. In the tableau repository there was no preferences.tps file. I had a manually make one to make it work. Does anyone have the same problem?

[@vizwiz]

Strange that there wasn't one.
