Chart.js How to edit the title label color

Time:12-05

Im working on a project where I display charts of stocks, everything works fine but I can't find how to change the title color above the chart like here: "AAPL" here

This is my code so far:

  public renderChart(xData, yData, symbol){
    this.chart = new Chart("canvas"   symbol, {
      type: "line",
      data : {
        labels: xData,
        datasets: [{
          label: symbol,
          data: yData,
          backgroundColor: "#fdb44b",
          borderColor: "#00204a",
        }
        ]
      },
      options: {
        responsive: true,
        maintainAspectRatio: false,
        scales: {
          y: {
            ticks: { color: '#f5f5f5'}
          },
          x: {
            ticks: { color: "#f5f5f5" }
          }
        }}
    })
  }

Any help is appreciated!

"AAPL" is not the chart title it's the label of the legend.

To change that color, place the following inside your options block.

    options: {
      plugins: {
        legend: {
          labels: {
            color: 'red'
          }
        }
      },
   ...
   }

To change the title color of a chart in Chart.js, you can use the title.fontColor option. Here is an example of how you could modify your code to change the title color of your chart:

public renderChart(xData, yData, symbol) {
  this.chart = new Chart("canvas"   symbol, {
    type: "line",
    data: {
      labels: xData,
      datasets: [
        {
          label: symbol,
          data: yData,
          backgroundColor: "#fdb44b",
          borderColor: "#00204a",
        },
      ],
    },
    options: {
      responsive: true,
      maintainAspectRatio: false,
      title: {
        display: true,
        fontColor: "#00204a",
        text: symbol,
      },
      scales: {
        y: {
          ticks: { color: "#f5f5f5" },
        },
        x: {
          ticks: { color: "#f5f5f5" },
        },
      },
    },
  });
}

In this code, we added the title option to the options object of the chart. The title option has the following properties:

  • display: Set to true to display the title on the chart
  • fontColor: The color of the title text
  • text: The text of the title

We set the fontColor to "#00204a" to change the color of the title, and set the text to the symbol variable to display the symbol as the title of the chart.

I hope this helps!
