Issue/Introduction

When using the Filter Legend values/colors are not matching value/colors on a Chart.

As an example, 12 colors are defined.
GREEN is 1st and RED is 5th.
In a pie chart if Won status value needs to be GREEN, then it needs to be the 1st result in the list. In the same way, Lost records need to come in 5th position to be RED.  
When filtering for ONLY Lost records this resets the order as Lost records will show up 1st in the result set and appear as Green.

Environment

Clarity PPM 15.x, 16.x

Cause

The colors of the attributes can be assigned differently as the number of records in the result set change. 
The colors are getting assigned in a round-robin fashion based on the sort order. Hence, filtering could affect the colors assigned.

Resolution

This has been reported to SE.
The behaviour is not changed and considered as working as design.
