  • Pie/donut slice colors (PieColors) now follow a golden-angle hue progression with saturation/brightness tiers — no reused colors for any realistic number of slices, no white or background-like grays; consecutive slices are always clearly distinguishable.
  • Classification default colors are generated saturated (HSV) instead of random pale RGB, so new classifications never start out near-white.
    cascadeColorDown keeps descendant classifications saturated (≥0.25) and away from white (≤0.85 brightness).
  • New ColorConversion.ensureVisible() renders near-white/near-black classification colors as visible ones — in the SWT taxonomy pie/donut, the dashboard taxonomy and earnings widgets, and classification chart series (fixes colors stored in existing client files).
  • ColorConversion.brighter()/darker() are clamped so assignment slices under pale parents stay visible on light and dark themes.
  • Browser-based taxonomy pie chart: excluded securities are drawn as gray separators (#C8C8C8) instead of invisible white; node colors are sanitized.
  • Regression tests added: PieColorsTest (unique, distinguishable, never white) and three ensureVisible cases in ColorConversionTest.

Issue: #2829

Issue: portfolio-performance#2829
Previously, dashboard widgets and holdings charts repeated colors after
11 slices, and maxed-out brightness made pastel slices almost invisible.
Fixed this by generating slice colors using a golden-angle hue
progression combined with saturation and brightness tiers.
• The Benefit: Consecutive slices are highly distinguishable, colors
stay unique for up to 720 slices, and washed-out or white slices are
completely eliminated.
• Note: The fix for plain white slices remains unchanged; the background
color is now correctly used only for the donut hole.

Walkthrough

Color generation and conversion now apply saturation and brightness bounds. Chart rendering paths adjust classification colors, and pie slice colors use a golden-angle hue progression with saturation and brightness tiers.

Changes: Chart color generation and visibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define color generation and visibility rules
name.abuchen.portfolio/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/util/ColorConversion.java, name.abuchen.portfolio/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/model/Classification.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.tests/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/util/ColorConversionTest.java
ColorConversion adds ensureVisible(RGB) and changes the bounds used by brighter and darker. Classification changes its default color generation and the saturation and brightness bounds for cascaded colors. Tests cover visible-color conversion for saturated, near-white, and near-black RGB values.
Apply visibility adjustments in charts
name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/views/dashboard/earnings/EarningsByTaxonomyChartWidget.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/views/dataseries/DataSeriesSet.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/views/taxonomy/DonutChartBuilder.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/views/taxonomy/TaxonomyPieChartBrowser.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/views/taxonomy/TaxonomyPieChartSWT.java
Chart paths pass classification colors through ensureVisible before rendering. The browser uses #C8C8C8 instead of white for excluded assignment nodes.
Generate and validate pie colors
name.abuchen.portfolio.ui/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/util/chart/CircularChart.java, name.abuchen.portfolio.ui.tests/src/name/abuchen/portfolio/ui/util/chart/PieColorsTest.java
PieColors adds nextRGB() and uses a 137.5-degree hue increment with saturation and brightness tiers. Tests check uniqueness, separation of consecutive colors, and visibility properties across 360 generated colors.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 72ffc

The remaining dark-blue contrast edge case does not prevent users from identifying or selecting chart slices. No merge-blocking issue remains.

Extend the uniqueness test to the full 720-color cycle.

testAllColorsAreUnique() checks only the first 360 colors. A non-consecutive duplicate between indices 361 and 720 can therefore pass all current PieColors tests. The generator combines a 144-step hue cycle with 15 saturation/brightness tiers, so checking 720 colors is a localized, material coverage correction.

Suggested fix
-        for (int ii = 0; ii < 360; ii++)
+        for (int ii = 0; ii < 720; ii++)
             colors.add(wheel.nextRGB());

Exercise all 720 generated colors in the uniqueness test.

PieColorsTest currently generates only 360 values. A regression that reuses an earlier RGB at index 360–719 can pass the uniqueness assertion. The related tests also stop at 360. Extend the uniqueness fixture to 720 to cover the stated generator range.

Suggested fix
         var wheel = new PieColors();
         var colors = new ArrayList<RGB>();

-        for (int ii = 0; ii < 360; ii++)
+        for (int ii = 0; ii < 720; ii++)
             colors.add(wheel.nextRGB());

         var unique = new HashSet<RGB>(colors);
