Can you define custom colors for a Box Plot?

[singhkays]

I see the example for Box Plot with colors but the color key just contains a column name called color without a definition of color. I have used the seriesColor option in a Bar chart succesfully but it doesn't seem to work here. Can anyone help?

<BoxPlot 
    data={sales_distribution_by_channel}
    name=channel
    intervalBottom=first_quartile
    midpoint=median
    intervalTop=third_quartile
    yFmt=usd0
    color=color
/>

color takes the name of a column in your query, and each row's value in that column is the color of that box. The docs example builds that column in its SQL with a case:

select
    channel,
    approx_quantile(total_sales, 0.25) as first_quartile,
    approx_quantile(total_sales, 0.50) as median,
    approx_quantile(total_sales, 0.75) as third_quartile,
    case
        when channel ilike '%Google%' then '#923d59'
        when channel ilike '%Facebook%' then '#488f96'
        else '#495867'
    end as color
from daily_sales
group by 1

Then color=color on <BoxPlot> picks it up. Values can be hex codes, CSS color names like red, or theme tokens like positive and negative.

seriesColors has nothing to match here: BoxPlot draws every box as one series, so per-box colors only come from the column. Checked on @evidence-dev/core-components 5.4.2 (Evidence 40).
