# Setting color scales Analytics+ provides the ability to create a heatmap - either based on the same column or driven by a different column. Based on your data, you have the flexibility to set the number of bands or reverse the scale.

You can also set custom numeric ranges and color schemes. ### 1. Custom color scales for charts We've applied a custom range to color-code the bar chart.

### 2. Custom color scales for cards Notice how we've adjusted the ranges according to the data and applied custom colors. The default range is 0-10, 10-30, and 30-100.

### 3. Custom color scales for tables We've used custom ranges based on the PY values in this table.

In the next section, we'll look at managing conditional formatting rules. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
