The default fill and border (line) that PowerPoint applies to chart elements are perfectly adequate. If you want something different, play with various Chart Styles available. While this works great most of the time, there will be occasions when you may want to use a particular color for any of your data series that’s not part of the Theme palette in your presentation. In times like these, you can change the fill and border of chart elements manually using the techniques explained.
