I have an issue occuring on both pie and column charts. In both cases, i have both column and pie charts with 6 data rows (e.g. 6 pie slices and 6 columns respectively, each row representing a different division within a company. I want each division to have a different pie slice or column bar color. I don't really care which colors each division is represented by, as long as they have unique colors...however when the charts render, they are duplicating colors...for example, if i have a dataset as follows:
Division Value
Div 1 100Div 2 225Div 3 300Div 4 350Div 5 365Div 6 375
5 of the divisions will have distinct colors (e.g. green, blue, orange, red, yellow)...however one of the divisions will overlap colors...so the result is that two divisions end up with green...and i can't tell them visually apart on the pie or column charts...it's always green that repeats. How can i control this default behavior and have all 6 colors render uniquely. thank you.

is there any way to get the webchart control to dynamically choose the colors and not duplicate them (up to some reasonable number) ? or do i need to manually set them...i have a number of charts that regularly go up to 5 or 6 pie slices or bar columns....as i mentioned in my original post, 1 color keeps repeating...is there no default behavior that avoids color duplication ? if need be, i will manually set colors as in your example, however in any given chart, i don't know how many colors will be needed (depends on the dynamic data coming into the chart), so i'd prefer to leverage some sort of built-in feature if possible. thank you.
