how to add more colors in charts

hey,

whenever i create a chart, all my data is assigned a color from a group of only 6 colors. if i have more than 6 inputs, than the colors just repeat themselves like

red green blue yellow orange purple red green blue yellow orange purple and so on.

how do i assign other colors, or better yet, have it use a bigger group/set of colors to mark the data inputs?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Hi matanram,

I don't see a way of increasing or changing the default colours.

You can add new colours to each series after you create the graph.

In this example, each category is a series.

Open the colour window (shift command c will toggle that window on and off).

Select a series (click on the graph then click on a series).

Drag a new colour to that series.

Save as Template for the next set of data.

Regards,

Ian.
