Edit colors in out-of-box series palette

[Bonnie]

I want a series palette with the gradient look but with 8 distinct colors.  The SeriesPalette colors that ship either have too few colors (so that after the 4th or 5th value the colors repeat) - an example is the Default series.  Or - Excel Classic for example - there are enough colors, but those colors are flat (not the gradient look).

Rather than re-invent the by creating gradient custom palettes - is it possible to get access to the code for the out-of-the-box SeriesPalette's and just alter those? (add new colors, for example).

Hello Bonnie,

I am afraid the built-in series palettes cannot be extended with additional brushes. You will need to create a custom palette. Please, find below one of the built-in palettes with complex gradients, that you can extend and use as per your requirements:

<Series>
<ChartSeries>
<Appearance>
<FillStyle FillType="ComplexGradient">
<FillSettings>
<ComplexGradient>
 <GradientElement Color="213, 247, 255"/>
 <GradientElement Color="193, 239, 252" Position="0.5"/>
 <GradientElement Color="157, 217, 238" Position="1"/>
 </ComplexGradient>
 </FillSettings>
