Enable Custom Color Selection & Consistent Label Coloring Across Cloudability Dashboards

Cloudability auto‑assigns colors to metrics and providers, resulting in inconsistent label colors across cards on the same dashboard. For example, Azure may be orange on one chart and blue on another, causing recurring interpretation errors.

This affects:

  • FinOps teams
  • Engineers validating cost anomalies
  • Leadership reviewing dashboards
  • Any user comparing multi-cloud data across multiple widgets

How it should work:

  • A simple color picker for each series in a chart.
  • Ability to set default organizational colors for AWS, Azure, GCP, and internal cost categories.
  • Option to apply colors consistently across all widgets in a dashboard.

This would align Cloudability with standard BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) that fully support style customization.
