✅

To change the color and thickness of lines (along x and y axis), set color and lineWidth property respectively, for both axis­‘s grid-lines, like so :

scales: {
   xAxes: [{
      gridLines: {
         display: false,
         color: 'green',
         lineWidth: 3
      },
      ...
   }],
   yAxes: [{
      gridLines: {
         display: false,
         color: '#07C',
         lineWidth: 3
      },
      ...
   }]
}

var randomScalingFactor = function() {
   return Math.round(Math.random() * 100)
};
var lineChartData = {
   labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
   datasets: [{
      label: 'My First dataset',
      labelColor: '#fff',
      fontColor: '#fff',
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,0.2)',
      borderColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,1)',
      pointBackgroundColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,1)',
      pointBorderColor: '#fff',
      data: [randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor(), randomScalingFactor()]
   }]
}

var options = {
   responsive: true,

EDIT:

For those looking to change the generated graph line (not the grid lines):

The line options are for the line type graph, similar as you’ll have a doughnut type and so on. I believe you figured that out, right?

A quick look in my code showed the option datasetStrokeWidth which you can use for the thickness. more info

The color option can be found under strokeColor for the style options.

As chart.js combines data- & style options, you’re options will look something like this:

var lineChartData = {
    line: {
        datasets: [
            {
                strokeColor: '#15bedb'                            
            }
        ]
    }
};

var lineChartStyle = {
    line: {
        datasetStrokeWidth: 1
    }
};

var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas-1');
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: lineChartData,
    options: lineChartStyle
});
