How to manually set column style color-mapping for string columns?

[henryli78]

Hi everyone,

Every time I restart my program, it seems like Perspective chooses a new coloring scheme for "Apple" and "Orange" (the number of rows of each do change each time which may be related).

Is pre-defining some color mapping for certain string values possible in Perspective?
