Charts skin repeating colors

[Archana]

Hi,

I'm using Web20 skin for my Barcharts and Line charts but it seems it has only 5 colors in color pallet and it repeats those colors for legends # more than 5. So 1st and 6th Legends have same color. Do you have any skin that has more colors? Sometimes I have 30 Legends to display and its really confusing when all legends have same color in the chart. please help asap.

Thanks,
Archana

Hi Archana,

Most of the other RadChart skins provide at least 12 colors (Inox, Metal, Mac, Colorful...), however none of the skins provide as much as 30 colors. That is why I would recommend creating a your custom palette(s). You can create your own it like this:

var palette = new Palette("MyPalette");
palette.Items.Add(
    new PaletteItem() { MainColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 85, 78, 98)});
palette.Items.Add(
    new PaletteItem() { MainColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 13, 98, 22)});
palette.Items.Add(
    new PaletteItem() { MainColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 155, 78, 10)});
palette.Items.Add(
    new PaletteItem() { MainColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 155, 78, 200)});
palette.Items.Add(
    new PaletteItem() { MainColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 10, 150, 200)});
//Add more colors...
this.RadChart1.CustomPalettes.Add(palette);
this.RadChart1.SeriesPalette = "MyPalette";
