How do I change the second rowof colors on charts?

[Guest]

I would like to change the second row of colors in powerpoint charts. I
changed the colors, but then when I exit the chart and reenter, they default
to horrible previous colors.

The "MS brights" on the second row of chart colors cannot be changed -- at
least not that I'm aware.

You might have a look at http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes3.htm for
info on color schemes and MS Graph.

Echo S, I read your previsous emails after I posted. I have one more
question. When I change the colors manually, close the chart and re-open the
chart, the colors change back. Do you know why this happens?

Yes. As I said before, you can't change that second row of colors. That's
why the colors change back when you exit and re-enter the chart. (It would
be better if you couldn't change them at all, because that leads you to
believe that you should be able to change the color. But for whatever
reason, that's not how it works.)

Try applying a color based on a different swatch to your graph data points.
You can use Tools/Options/Color to modify that particular swatch if
necessary.
