Hi, all When I filtered the data, I found that the colors of the same data were rendered first, while some colors were rendered later. How to fix the color order? Thank you for providing assistance in advance. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/observablehq/original/2X/a/a8553bc52a12a433333abf03dd077d02d3ab0106.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/observablehq/original/2X/8/81e74e13c741b1eee45f552ac1ffd9995d05cb7c.png) ---

It’s hard to tell from a screenshot. In general I’d recommend to create a first chart that gets all the colors, and reuse that chart’s [exposed color scale](https://observablehq.com/plot/features/plots#plot_scale) in the other charts. ---

I delved deeper and found that I can generate an array of data to be drawn, which can fix the order of colors. Thank you very much.
