There are 10 base colors. For each of them, five color shades are calculated, so there are default colors for 50 different activities.

  • Default: The activities are randomly mapped with the colors you can see in the properties panel (Appearance > Colors).
  • Customized: You can assign specific colors to activities in the data model as shown in the Data Engineer Guide.
