Google Enhances Looker Studio with Data Label Background Colors
Google has rolled out a significant enhancement to its enterprise reporting environment, Looker Studio. The update, released on August 14, 2025, introduces background color functionality for data labels in bar and column charts, boosting data visibility and readability.
The new feature allows users to apply colored backgrounds to label text, addressing specific use cases in marketing analytics where chart clarity is crucial for informed decision-making. Previously, data labels appeared directly on charts without background color options, potentially compromising readability.
The update integrates seamlessly with existing chart styling options, ensuring it doesn't disrupt current report configurations. Users can now set data-label background colors for any bar-label-position option across both chart types, extending Looker Studio's label customization capabilities. This update complements Google's broader modernization efforts in Looker Studio, which include recent enhancements like conditional formatting and expanded partner connector integrations.
The addition of background color functionality for data labels in bar and column charts within Looker Studio improves data visibility and readability, supporting better decision-making in enterprise reporting environments. This update is part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance the platform's professional presentation standards and brand consistency.
