<colorPalette type="list">[#53A051,#F1813F,#DC4E41]</colorPalette>
<scale type="threshold">2,10</scale>

Use header_field

transpose - Splunk Documentation

Remove  field="Qualité" so that the formatting applies to all fields

This only means that "Menu" is not a column name in your original table.  You need to look at column "column", and decide which row should be used as header_field. (Very probably it is the first row .)

Look at the table from this sample search:

index=_internal
| chart count over log_level by sourcetype

Try the following three commands:

  1. | transpose
  2. | transpose header_field=log_level
  3. | transpose header_field=log_level column_name=sourcetype

You'll see how these options interact with the original table.
