This is possible by assigning a particular color to your series. (charting.seriesColors)
see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/Viz/Chartcustomization#Chart_colors

You will need :

  • to name your series (charting.legend.labels)
  • or to sort your series before (sort or a table )

I know this question is extremely old. (5 years now) But I've found a solution that works the way you want and for @ArkansIan and @Aftab_alam

Instead of using charting.seriesColors, use charting.fieldcolors.

Here's a quick example.
{"Informational":0x00812F , "Low":0x00CB09 , "Normal":0xFFC300 , "High":0xFF7400 , "Critical":0xFF0000}
This sets the color for each category as it shows up and is not dependent on if all the values lower than the highest are present or not.

The problem with this is that it is sequence.

For example, if you have "Low, Medium and High" defined with green, yellow and red defined and you only have high results, then the color for High will be green.

How do you specify a color for each result in a pie chart so that the colors in the chart generated are consistent?
