This is expected behavior due to how Superset's architecture handles color schemes. The `color_scheme` setting is stored as **dashboard-level metadata** (in `dashboard.json_metadata`) rather than in the individual chart's `params` or `query_context` fields [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/daos/dashboard.py#L254-L267). When you export a chart, only the chart's own fields (`params`, `query_context`, `slice_name`, etc.) are serialized [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/models/slice.py#L124-L135), so the color scheme is not included in the export. When the exported chart is loaded without its original dashboard context, Superset's hydration logic detects the missing color scheme and falls back to the default `'supersetColors'` [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/explore/actions/hydrateExplore.ts#L122-L139). **Workarounds:** - **Export the entire dashboard** instead of individual charts — dashboard export includes `json_metadata` with the `color_scheme` setting. - **Manually set the color scheme** in the destination dashboard properties after importing charts. If you believe `color_scheme` should be persisted at the chart level as well, that would be a feature request / enhancement to the chart export logic. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
