Charts
Charts from shadcn/ui and other libraries, themed by the design system.
Charts come from more than one library. Each page is a chart type, and every chart credits the library it comes from and installs from there. Series colors map to the neutral --chart-1 … --chart-5 ramp, so charts match the rest of the interface in both themes.

}shadcn/ui charts
Built with Recharts and the shadcn chart component, which maps each series to a CSS variable. Install the component, then copy any chart's code from its Code tab.
npx shadcn@latest add chart cardconst chartConfig = {
desktop: { label: "Desktop", color: "var(--chart-1)" },
mobile: { label: "Mobile", color: "var(--chart-2)" },
} satisfies ChartConfig
<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="min-h-[200px] w-full">
<BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
<CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
<XAxis dataKey="month" tickLine={false} axisLine={false} />
<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
<Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
<Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
</BarChart>
</ChartContainer>ChartContainer turns each config key into a --color-<key> variable, which the series reference. Change a series color in the config, not in the chart.
Bklit UI charts
Bklit UI charts are built on visx and Motion, composed from parts (<AreaChart>, <Area>, <Grid>, <XAxis>, <ChartTooltip>) and installed from the @bklit registry. Their colors come from the --chart-* tokens in global.css.
npx shadcn@latest add @bklit/area-chartGuidelines
- Do start every series at
--chart-1and step down the ramp. - Do reserve status colors (
--success,--destructive) for values that mean good or bad. - Do hide the vertical grid and axis lines; let the data carry the chart.
- Do keep
accessibilityLayeron Recharts charts for keyboard and screen-reader access. - Don't use more than five series in one chart.
