I just discovered this issue and that is quite annoying. Annetta, did you ever create feedback for this? If so I will definitely upvote.

Although I entered a case (not solved) I did not create feedback at the time. I have done so now.

To chime in on this one I had a bunch of stacked bar chart reports and randomly some of the reports were essentially choosing versions of black for every slice of the bar. I believe they were actually different colours except totally towards the black end of the scale so on the chart they all look black.

  In our case we have standard vivid corporate colors for 5 specific project phases. They are intended to NEVER change. As long as the slice of data shows all 5 phases, we get the proper colors. If the data slice contains something fewer than all 5 phases, then the pie chart is weird pastels that are not even close to the intended pie chart.
  
  I was VERY disappointed at the time, but we were rolling out, so I didn't have a lot of time to post the recommendation feedback at the time. I have done so now and appreciate your votes on this much needed control.
  
  We are starting to work on major uplift to our App. Will talk with you all again soon.
