Series colors when using multiple series and breakdowns

Can you post some steps to reproduce it?
I've tried to reproduce it but the default palette colors are assigned and within the breakdown by dimension I can still edit the applied palette.

[jan-elastic]

• create visualization
• add some field to the vertical axis
• add some other field to the vertical axis
• add breakdown

For the breakdown you can select the palette, however that's applied to both graphs, so all colors are used twice.
For the individual fields (aka series/vertical axis), you cannot select a color / color palette.

I wanted to select a breakdown palette for both fields separately

I see what you mean now.
The logic there is too keep consistency for each category, even for multiple metrics.
I will discuss with the team whether there's room to allow a different assignment logic there.

For the time being, it is possible a workaround here: define one metric per layer, with the breakdown, then Lens will apply distinct colours.

Thanks, different layers indeed solves/works around the problem. I can select a different color palette like that.
