Currently has two methods for selecting series color when a view is grouped: it can be based on the values of an entity reference field, or it can be based on a "color field" set on the referenced entities. While these are helpful, there are other scenarios, such as grouping on a "list (text)" field, where it would be helpful to have another way of selecting the preferred colors.
Create a view with a chart format.
Group by a "list (text)" field.
Colors will default to the colors selected in your charts default settings.
It would be nice to have an additional method for selecting based on non-entity reference field values.

andileco commentedThings seem to be working well - thank you!! One thing that I think needs to happen from a UX perspective is to provide a message if the user selects an option but the underlying data doesn't support it. For example, if there are no fields of a select type, then we should have a message that no eligible fields were found. For example, all three options show up for me for a view based on Views CSV Source.

nikathoneAdded a warning message as the default placeholder for colors. We might need to tweak the wording though.

andileco commentedThank you! There's a minor issue where if you move from the third option to the second (on a taxonomy term field), then it looks different than if you move from the first to the second. But I'm going to make it a follow-up issue.
