Given my chartJS config below
var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontColor = 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)';
Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily = 'Arial';
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Investment', 'Sustainable'],
datasets: [{
label: 'myLabel',
data: [11, 5],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(234, 82, 4, 0.2)',
'rgba(0, 121, 109, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(234, 82, 4, 1)',
'rgba(0, 121, 109, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
labels: {
display: true
}
},
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true
},
gridLines: {
color: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)'
},
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
},
}],
}
}
});
I need to get something as close as the following

Using Quickchart API, I am submitting the config through the URL, but I am having trouble setting the labels color? options:{legend:{labels:{fontColor: 'white'}},
https://quickchart.io/chart?c={type:%27bar%27,data:{labels:[%27Investment%27,%27Sustainable%20%27],datasets:[{label:%27myLabel%27,data:[11,5],backgroundColor:%20[%27rgba(234,%2082,%204,%200.2)%27,%27rgba(0,%20121,%20109,%200.2)%27],borderColor:%20[%27rgba(234,%2082,%204,%201)%27,%27rgba(0,%20121,%20109,%201)%27]}]}}
Update 2
I am trying to construct the URL but I am getting some issues;

Which should render the following

Answer
Which version of Chart.js are you using because it seems to be working fine with your config.
var options = {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Investment', 'Sustainable'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Tonnes of CO2 per year',
data: [11, 5],
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(234, 82, 4, 0.2)',
'rgba(0, 121, 109, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(234, 82, 4, 1)',
'rgba(0, 121, 109, 1)'
],
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
labels: {
fontColor: 'white'
}
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontColor: 'white'
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
fontColor: 'white'
},
gridLines: {
color: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)'
},
}]
}
}
}
var ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);canvas {
background-color: #002A5E;
