Color-coding categories in Reports

It'd be great if the categories (Dining, Home, Auto, Charity/Donations, etc.) could all be the same color every month.

Instead of having Dining (for example) yellow in January, red in Feb., purple in March, etc.

Who agrees with me that this would help make things more organized when looking at many months of reports at once? If you do, please UPVOTE! 💪

    hmmm, @snowboardsurfer, I've never really paid any attention to the color scheme in reports before you mentioned it here.  Looks like the color key is related to amount (highest spending medium blue, lowest spending dark green) instead of by category.  I like being able to see highest to lowest spending categories but would also like the option to see spending the way your are requesting.

    Wonder if it is feasible to add the ability to select between the two so you could see the data presented both ways depending of preference or to broaden the way we can see or spending reported.

    It would be nice if users could customize which color goes with which category. AND, you could provide users the option to toggle between different color coding schemes. For example, the folks on this thread could click a button to color-code by category. Other users could keep it set to the default color-coding by amount.

    In addition, users could select which color goes with which designation. This would be especially helpful for users with colorblindness.
