Could you send us a copy of the layer you are trying to render with a legend, or a clipped section of the layer? That will help with the testing...

Good Morning Everyone, <br>
<br>
I have a geology layer with a few columns, including the chronostratigraphic symbol, the rock type description and, importantly, a colour column (String type). The values stored in the colour column are the HTML hex values for the colour according to the 1
: 1 000 000 simplified geological map of South Africa. <br>
<br>
When I open the layer and select the colour column for colouring the lithological units it works beautifully, but I do not get a legend for the composer. But if I set the Properties|Style to Categorized and then again select the colour from the Colour column
in the table I also get the same nicely coloured map according to the colour column, an a Legend. But the Legend is wrong...it chooses random colours! What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get a correct legend, also only showing the units which are actually
on the map in the composer. I can set the colours manually to match the value in the colour field but that sort of defeats the purpose.
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help so long, <br>
<br>
Immo <br>
