Either choose a color printer driver in Excel before copy/pasting as picture or
select the info in Excel, Copy, switch to PPT, choose Paste Special, Link.
The charts will then update when you update your excel sheet but the data won't
be embedded in the PPT.
If you like, and have no further need of updates, you can ungroup the charts to
convert them to PPT drawing objects, then regroup.
