Found by an AI agent building a deck on a dark theme through the MCP server: the chart's title,
axis labels, legend and data labels were nearly invisible, and nothing it tried could change
them. format.color with the chart selected answered success and changed nothing (a chart has
no text runs to colour), and chart.options had no colour parameter, although the model already
carries a text_color that the renderer honours. Underneath, the renderer drew chart text with
no colour of its own in a fixed grey (595959), which reads fine on a light theme and vanishes on
a dark one.

Three commits:

• chart.options {textColor} sets the chart's text colour (#RRGGBB, accent1…accent6,
  tx1…, or null for the default) and refuses a string that isn't a colour; docs/mcp.md
  mentions it.
• format.color with a chart selected sets the same colour (title, axes, legend and data labels)
  instead of answering and doing nothing; a mixed selection still colours the other shapes' runs.
• Chart text with no colour of its own renders in the theme's text colour (tx1) instead of the
  fixed grey. This is a small visible change: on a dark theme chart text is now light, and on a
  light theme it takes the theme's dark text colour where it used to be grey. An explicit colour
  still wins, so files that set one look as before.

Tests: chart_options_text_color_sets_clears_and_refuses and
format_color_on_a_selected_chart_sets_its_text_color (engine), and the pixel test
chart_text_follows_the_theme_when_it_has_no_colour_of_its_own (render), which renders a column
chart with and without a title on Nocturne and on Harbor and checks that the title adds light
pixels on the dark theme and dark pixels on the light one. cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p deckcraft-engine and -p deckcraft-render (--all-targets -- -D warnings), cargo test -p deckcraft-engine (334), cargo test -p deckcraft-render (175), cargo test -p deckcraft-mcp,
cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask assets pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Chart text color can be set through chart.options or format.color. Rendering uses an explicit chart color when set and otherwise resolves a theme-based default. PPTX writing serializes chart text colors on titles, axes, legends, and data labels.

Changes: Chart Text Color

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Chart text color commands crates/engine/src/cmd/insert.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/format.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, docs/mcp.md	chart.options accepts textColor: omission preserves the current value, null clears it, and invalid colors return an error. format.color sets the color on selected charts. Tests cover these behaviors, and the tool documentation lists the affected chart text.
Theme-based chart text rendering crates/render/src/chart.rs, crates/render/src/tests.rs	Chart text without an explicit color uses theme Tx1 with LumMod(65000) and LumOff(35000). Pie and doughnut labels use an explicit chart text color when set and otherwise remain white. Tests cover theme-based title colors and explicit pie-label colors.
PPTX chart text color serialization crates/pptx/src/write/chart.rs, docs/file-format-parity.md, ROADMAP.md	PPTX writing serializes chart text color for titles, axes, legends, data labels, and the chart root. Tests cover color round-tripping and retention when an edit rebuilds a chart part. The documentation records the serialization change.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — crates (service) was modified; 6 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — docs (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — ROADMAP.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/cmd/format.rs: The model import now includes ShapeKind.
• observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/cmd/format.rs: When there is no text selection, color collects selected chart shapes and sets their text_color while clearing raw. If all selected shapes are charts, it returns after editing them; if the selection mixes charts and other shapes, it continues to apply the color through format_run.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/mcp.md: The chart.* command listing now documents that chart.options {textColor} colors chart titles, axes, legends, and labels.
• observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/cmd/insert.rs: The chart.options command schema now documents textColor as a color-or-null option and describes the default restored by null.

🟡 Minor · Apply chart text color to pie data labels. · chart.rs:327

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply chart text color to pie data labels.

When a pie chart has data labels, this call passes Rgba::WHITE instead of text_col. As a result, chart.options {"textColor":"#FF0000"} changes the chart title but leaves its data labels white. Pass the resolved chart text color to this label call.

Proposed change

-                    Rgba::WHITE,
+                    text_col,

Thanks! A few things before this can land: (1) the colour is lost on save — Chart.text_color is read from PPTX but never written, and format.color/textColor also clear raw, so an imported chart loses its txPr colours; please write it in c:txPr (title, axes, legend, dLbls) with a round-trip test, coordinating with #1053, which adds txPr for sizes. (2) The new default tx1 turns light-theme chart text black instead of today's 595959 grey; PowerPoint's default is tx1 with lumMod 65000 / lumOff 35000. (3) Please add a ROADMAP progress-log row.

[zberry]

Thanks, all three are in (92be64c, bc64a91, 5c6fecc):

1. The colour is now written as c:txPr on both axes, the legend, the data labels and the chart root, and as the run default of the title's rich text. Two round-trip tests in crates/pptx/src/write/chart.rs: scheme (with a lumMod), RGB and no colour come back as set, and a chart read with a tx1 65 %/35 % axis colour keeps it through a title edit that rebuilds the part. On Charts: a chart's number formats and text sizes survive an edit (#1046) #1053: it adds c:txPr in the same places for sizes, so whichever lands second resolves to one a:defRPr with both sz and the fill; I'm happy to rebase onto it once it merges.
2. The default is PowerPoint's tx1 lumMod 65000 / lumOff 35000, so light themes are back to 595959 and dark themes keep readable light grey text. The render test now checks the light-theme title is dark but not black.
3. ROADMAP progress-log row added, and a line in the file-format parity log.
