Adding Colours to the Tableau Repository

Adding University of York branded colours to the Tableau repository for use across all reports.

For instructions on how to add colours to your Tableau repository follow the link below:

https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/formatting_create_custom_colors.htm

The instructions linked above will also show you how to create colour palettes or restore discontinued Tableau palettes. Instead of these options, the code below can be inserted into the Preferences.tps file located in your Tableau repository:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<workbook>
<preferences>
<color-palette name="York Brand Palette" type="regular">
<color>#FFFFFF</color>
<color>#000000</color>
<color>#00C2DE</color>
<color>#001E82</color>
<color>#78BF26</color>
<color>#144835</color>
<color>#E31A82</color>
<color>#3C0032</color>
<color>#FFD200</color>
<color>#FD5000</color>
<color>#A6A091</color>
<color>#A3ADB4</color>
</color-palette>
</preferences>
</workbook>

Once in your repository these colours should be available for all reports you make via tableau Desktop.
