When you create charts within PowerPoint, typically the Chart Area doesn’t show any fill or any kind of formatting. The exception to this rule is if you have applied a particular Chart Style. Thus, in most scenarios, the Chart Area is completely transparent with no fill or outline attributes. This default status works well most of the time since the Chart Area is just the area above which all chart elements are placed.

Everything on a chart within PowerPoint is placed atop the Chart Area. The Chart Area is the entire area that encompasses your chart. Thus, the Chart Area is that part of your chart which is placed beneath all other chart elements.
