Custom Slice or Sector Colors in Pie Chart

This article explains how to add custom colors to pie chart slices/sectors. By default, pie charts use the Microsoft Excel default template. To use other colors, it is possible to redefine the colors in the chart.

To set the custom color for a pie chart’s individual slices or sectors:

1. Access the Series object’s ChartPoint.
2. Assign a color of your choice using the ChartPoint.getArea().setForegroundColor() method.

This article also explains how to set:

• A chart’s category data.
• A chart title linked to a cell.
• The chart title font settings.
• The position of the legend.

ChartPoint.getArea().setForegroundColor() is not specific to pie charts but can be used for all types of charts.
