How to use fieldcolors

Hi,

 

In one of my graphs I try to fixate the areacolors to red and green. However, I can't figure out how.

Tried this:

 

 

 

"visualizations": {
		"viz_CgGpI6E0": {
			"type": "splunk.area",
			"dataSources": {
				"primary": "ds_aNB3d69r_ds_d4nLznpt"
			},
			"title": "Nanoservice request results",
			"options": {
				"stackMode": "stacked100"
			},
			"fieldColors": {
				"OKPerc": "#42663a",
				"ErrorPerc": "#7a1709"
			},
			"showProgressBar": false,
			"showLastUpdated": false
		},
		"viz_r9Pd57Q4": {
			"type": "splunk.markdown",
			"options": {
				"markdown": ""
			}
		}
	},

 

Also tried placing them inside the "Options" object.

	"visualizations": {
		"viz_CgGpI6E0": {
			"type": "splunk.area",
			"dataSources": {
				"primary": "ds_aNB3d69r_ds_d4nLznpt"
			},
			"title": "Nanoservice request results",
			"options": {
				"stackMode": "stacked100",
				"fieldColors": {
					"OKPerc": "#42663a",
					"ErrorPerc": "#7a1709"
				}
			},
			"showProgressBar": false,
			"showLastUpdated": false
		},
	},

 

But the colors stay wrong. Am I doing it wrong?

Current graph:

Purple should be green and blue should be red.

Cheers,

No idea what FieldColors does, but SeriesColors seems to be my friend.

 

 

 

		"viz_CgGpI6E0": {
			"type": "splunk.area",

				"primary": "ds_aNB3d69r_ds_d4nLznpt"
			},
			"title": "Nanoservice request results",
			"options": {
				"stackMode": "stacked100",
				"seriesColors": "[#42663a,#7a1709]"
			},
			"showProgressBar": false,
			"showLastUpdated": false
		}
