    Hi!

    I've been trying to set individual colors for the pie segments, this works ok. But the colors on the pie are somewhat less vivid that colors in legend - when I set a segment color to red, the legend is red, but the pie is pink. I've tried editing template for the pie:

    <Ellipse Clip="{TemplateBinding FigurePath}" Height="{TemplateBinding ItemActualHeight}" Style="{TemplateBinding ItemStyle}" StrokeThickness="0" Width="{TemplateBinding ItemActualWidth}"  />

    <    Path x:Name="PART_DefiningGeometry" Data="{TemplateBinding FigurePath2}" Fill="Transparent" Style="{TemplateBinding ItemStyle}" StrokeThickness="0" />

    <    Ellipse Clip="{TemplateBinding FigurePath3}" Fill="{StaticResource PieMaskBrush}" Height="{TemplateBinding ItemActualHeight}" Width="{TemplateBinding ItemActualWidth}" StrokeThickness="0" />

                   
    The first ellipse seems to be responsible for the pie color: when I set the ellipse's color explicitly to red, the pie was red (not pink), but when the color comes from Style="{TemplateBinding ItemStyle}", it's pink. How do I achieve vivid color on pie?

    Hi Michal,

    Can you please try to set:
    <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" PaletteBrushesUseSolidColors="True" />

    If you still experience the described problem, please let us know which theme you use.

    Hi there,

    I am also having trouble setting some custom colors. The color in question is #A3C5E1. For some reason the 3D pie chart is setting this color as transparent... Event when setting PaletteBrushesUseSolidColors="True".

    Thanks.

    Hi, I'm just using 2D chart. I've tried the colour (adding FF in front of it) and it worked fine, displaying a light blue pie.

    Hi,

    I also tried adding #FF, but it did not change anything for me in the 3D mode...

    Hi Jean-Louis Lalonde,

    Actually the color which you have set is there but you cannot see it because the direction of the directional light makes it look transparent. A possible solution is to re-template the ChartArea and change the default direction. Please refer to the attached project and let us know if you need additional help.
