Exciting news in the world of Power BI! 🥳

Microsoft has just announced the release of five new color themes to support accessibility:

  • Accessible Default
  • Accessible City Park
  • Accessible Tidal
  • Accessible Neutral
  • Accessible Orchid.

As a Power BI Report Design Specialist, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my reports not only visually appealing, but accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. And these new color themes make that goal a whole lot easier to achieve!

Kudos to Microsoft for continuing to prioritize accessibility and for making Power BI even more accessible and usable for everyone 👏

More about Power BI and Accessible

Power BI and Accessible is an exciting new initiative from Microsoft that seeks to make Power BI more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities. The project focuses on making the user experience of Power BI easier for all users, regardless of their disability or impairment.

This includes adding features to help users with visual impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, language barriers, and other accessibility needs. So far they have added support for keyboard navigation in the Report view; improved color contrast settings; implemented a high-contrast theme option; created the ability to zoom in reports up to 400%; increased font sizes across reports; enabled text-to-speech capabilities within report visuals; improved tabbing behavior throughout the product; added support for screen readers such as Narrator and JAWS; integrated alt tags into visuals so that they can be read by assistive technologies like screen readers.
