Selection of Color
When any of the above Value Sources are selected to create a conditional color representation of the data from selected Field Properties, the Single or Color Palette choice made is done via the Themes and Palettes dialog.

Click the paintbrush icon to open the Choose Color dialog. Depending on the data type for the Field Property selected, Choose Color dialog will show options for Single Color, Color Palette, or both as seen in examples below.
If no color choice is made for a Theme entry, the default Color/Color Palette, as configured for the System-level Themes, and only available via the Admin solution, will be used as the fallback.
For the Color Palette option, Color Palettes are viewed by Palette Type - use dropdown to select a Palette Type:
Single Hue Gradient - a series of colors derived from the same single color configuration, eg. shades of blue, green, grey, …
Dynamic - a series of colors derived between a start and end color configuration, eg. blue-to-pink, green-to-blue, blue-to-purple, …
Curated - a series of colors manually selected. Such a Palette can either represent completely different/random colors, or a specific custom gradient.
