To change the color of the x-axis in a Chart.js chart, you can use the scaleLabel option in the scales object of your chart configuration. For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    // Your data here
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [{
        scaleLabel: {
          display: true,
          labelString: 'X-axis label',
          fontColor: '#ff0000'  // Red x-axis label
        }
      }]
    }
  }
});


This will display an x-axis label with the text "X-axis label" in red color. Note that you can also customize other aspects of the x-axis label, such as the font size and font family, using the fontSize and fontStyle options.


If you want to change the color of the x-axis itself (i.e., the line and ticks), you can use the color and tickColor options in the xAxes array of the scales object. For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    // Your data here
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [{
        color: '#ff0000',  // Red x-axis
        tickColor: '#00ff00'  // Green x-axis ticks
      }]
    }
  }
});


This will create a red x-axis with green tick marks.
