When a new chart is inserted in your PowerPoint presentation, you will find that it takes the fills and border types based on the Theme of your presentation. You can change the fills and borders of charts as required. Other than that, you can always use pictures as fills.

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.

If the data required for your chart is already within Excel, then you can create your chart in Excel itself, and then copy-paste it into a PowerPoint slide. This is true for all versions of PowerPoint since Office 2007 since Excel does the charting even within PowerPoint from version 2007 onwards. Alternatively, if you need to add data manually, and also if you are using an older version of PowerPoint (such as 2003), you can directly insert a new chart within PowerPoint.
