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.

To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.
