Following is an example of a timelines chart with custom colors. We’ve already seen the configuration used to draw this chart in the Google Charts Configuration Syntax chapter. So, let’s see the complete example.

Configurations

We’ve used timelines configuration to hide row labels.

// Set chart options
var options = {
   colors: ['#cbb69d', '#603913', '#c69c6e']
};
