Set colors
You can set the color scheme used for coding stripes, charts and other visualizations. By default, NVivo uses random system-generated colors, if you have assigned colors to your sources, nodes or other project items, you may prefer to use the colors you have assigned to project items.

On the View tab, in the Visualization group, click Color Scheme, and then select Automatic or Item Colors.
