Is there a way to manually choose the colors for a single value visualization without relying on a range to do it via xml tags only?

Issue
I have three single value panels at the top of my dashboard that I want to have color coded values or backgrounds for, but I want to pick the color of each one and have it stay that color. Using a range won't guarantee that my colors stay as I chose them as the values shift over time.

Question
Is there a way to manually choose the colors for a single value visualization without relying on a range to do it via xml tags only?

I cannot create a custom css file to pull from so anything outside of tags in the dashboard xml is a no go.

Hi pepper_seattle,
you have to choose the same color for every range you have (at least 2), in this way you have always the fixes one.

If you want to set the foreground or background color for a dashboard panel, you can. For example, in a chart you can do this in the XML:

<panel>
  <chart>
     ...
    <option name="charting.backgroundColor">0xFF9900</option>
  <chart>
</panel>

This should set the chart background color to orange. Here is the page in the Dashboards and Visualization manual: Chart configuration reference.

This doesn't work with single value visualizations unfortunately. I'm using v.6.5.0 if that helps.
