Colors display differently when used on template layer--how to change?

#1

I recently tried adding a light gray rectangle component to the template we were using instead of directly on the dashboard and noticed that the gray looked correct in the template but showed lighter when that template was used in the dashboard, as if there was a partial opacity white background between them or something. However, I was unable to find any place to change that and retain the original color in the template. Has anyone else run into this? What might be causing it? Thank you.

Afternoon Lindsey,

When you are in Edit mode for a Dashboard, the template layers from an applied template will have a partial opacity applied. Once you move to View, Sandbox View, or a non-interactive export (Image, PDF, etc.), that opacity will be removed.

Thanks,
Mark
