It would be nice if like kibana3, we will be able to build dashboards with 2 main background colors, for example dark and light. it means that all the visualizes in a specific dashboard will be on a same background.
The next enhancement will be able to choose the visualize background color with CSS palette.
So the each visualize in a dashboard could be with a different background color.

We were just evaluating Kibana for use at our company. Everyone seemed to like it and we were right about to pull the trigger but didn't like the new bright color in Kibana4. Most of my group instantly lost interest. This sux. Please put back the dark theme.

Please bring back a dark theme. I just made a visualization and can't even read the x-axis. I am really loving all of the new features, but I do not want to unveil the update to our devs until it looks better and is readable.

Is that available to change the color scheme of the panel ( bar, line, etc.) in kibana 4?
Besides, can we align the filter name like kibana 3?

I also noticed this article saying they have a black theme for Kibana 4:
We have brought the black theme back to Kibana 4, and speaking to Rashid at Elastic{ON}, it seems like the black theme will be making a comeback to all Kibana 4 users.

The white theme works very bad when using Kibana as passive monitor – a screen that people do not study continuously – looking at other things most of the time – but that still must be viewable all the time.
I such a situation the white light from the screen is disturbing. A guess it also consumes more energy.
So, please bring back the black theme!

Right now it feels like a downgrade going from Kibana 3 to 4 - the default colours in Kibana 3 were way more readable.
Also the grid lines have disappeared - this was useful for the histograms and bar charts.
Please provide a way to have both features back, else Kibana 4 is going to be a hardsell to management,

Our clients would love to have dark them for the whole Kibana interface, because it looks weird when you have dark theme in one place (dashboard) and go to Visualize (to build or adjust report which is often a case) and you go back to white theme.
