The following table describes the <graphics> children elements.

Child Element Description
<coloring> Specifies the palette and coloring method used by the chart. Both built-in or custom palettes can be used.

Most of the charts can define only one palette. The refId attribute value is a valid palette identifier.

<coloring> 
    <palettes> 
        <palette alpha="0" refId="green"/>
    </palettes> 
</coloring>

Dual charts can define two palettes:

<coloring> 
    <palettes method="Dual"> 
        <palette type="Primary" refId="blue"/>  
        <palette type="Secondary" refId="5f95e34e-b5c1-49d5-ac60-eb73ee5527c2"/> 
    </palettes> 
</coloring>
