Description

I am visualizing time series in Tensorboard, and displaying auxiliary information for each run as a text summary under the "Texts" dashboard.

However, the same run is colored differently across the "Time series" and "Text" tabs, e.g. orange vs. cyan. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to correctly identify corresponding runs.

Ideally, there would be an option to sync the color palettes across different tabs, such that the color of a run does not vary across the different dashboards. Or maybe there is already such an option? Am I missing something?

Research direction

The issue concerns run-color assignment across the Time series and Text dashboards; start by tracing how each dashboard selects colors and checking whether a palette-sync option already exists. Done means corresponding runs use consistent colors across both dashboards, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
