If you're already pasting data into Chartissimo, the next step is usually getting the chart to match a specific brand color — your company's primary hex, a client's brand, a campaign palette. The good news: Chartissimo treats brand color as a first-class input, not a post-render tweak.
This walkthrough covers the workflow end to end — from the hex value in your brand guidelines to a downloaded PNG that uses your exact brand color. About three minutes start to finish.
What you'll need
- Your data (a few rows pasted from any spreadsheet)
- Your brand's primary hex color (for example,
#2E86AB)
That's the whole list. No design tool, no Photoshop, no fiddling with chart settings in PowerPoint.
Step 1: Paste your data
Open chartissimo.com/app and paste your data into the input panel. Two columns is the minimum: a category and a value. Headers in the first row are fine — Chartissimo detects them automatically.
If your data lives in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or even a Notion database, copy the cells you want and paste. There is no upload step and no file format to wrestle with.
Step 2: Pick a chart type
Choose column, bar, pie, or scatter from the chart type picker. Pick what your data actually wants — bars for comparisons, pie for parts of a whole, scatter for relationships. The brand color step works the same regardless of which type you pick.
Step 3: Enter your brand hex color
This is the step that does the work. In the style panel, find the Brand Color input and type your hex value. Either format works — #2E86AB or 2E86AB.
Chartissimo treats this as a hard constraint when it generates the styled chart. The AI restyle pipeline locks the hue to your brand color and builds the rest of the visual treatment around it — gradients, shadows, accents, contrast — so the chart feels designed rather than recolored after the fact.
Why this matters: most "brand color" features in chart tools just paint over an existing chart. The result looks like the wrong color was forced onto a generic template. Chartissimo restyles the entire chart around your color so it actually looks intentional.
Step 4: Pick or describe a style
You have two options:
- Pick a preset. Browse the style gallery and click one. The preset gets applied with your brand color baked in.
- Describe one in plain English. Type something like "minimalist corporate, clean shadows, white background" into the custom style prompt. The AI generates a treatment that matches both the description and your brand color.
If the first result is not quite right, hit Reroll for a variation in the same style, or tweak the prompt and regenerate. The brand color stays locked across rerolls.
Step 5: Download the PNG
Click Download to save the chart as a PNG, ready to drop into PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Figma, or anywhere else. There is also a copy-to-clipboard option if you want to paste straight into a slide without saving the file first.
Tips for getting it right the first time
- Pick a clear primary, not a tertiary accent. Brand systems usually have a primary, a secondary, and a few accents. Use the primary for the chart's main color — it carries the most recognition.
- Test against your slide background. A brand color that pops on a white background can disappear on navy. Quickly toggle the background mode (white, black, or contextual) to preview both.
- Match the deck, not just the brand. If your slide deck uses a specific texture or treatment, mention it in the custom style prompt so the chart fits the surrounding design.
- Save your favorite. Once you nail a brand-matched style, save it as a favorite. Every future chart starts one click away from on-brand.
The bottom line
A chart that uses your brand color does not just look better — it signals that the rest of the deck was made by someone who pays attention. Three minutes in Chartissimo replaces what used to be a "send it to design" task. Drop the hex in once, save it as a favorite, and every future chart in the project starts on-brand.
