Hi Elaine

Thank you for your question.

To colour a part of your chart (bars, pie sections lines) select the bar/pie section/line and then right-click on it and select Format Data Series from the menu.

You will then be able to change the colour on the Patterns tab.

To change the colour of the chart background, select the Plot Area, then right click and select Format Plot Area. Change the background colour on the Patterns tab.

I hope this helps.
Amanda
