# Data Series Color Generation

## Content



The data series color scheme can be selected by using the [Palette](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.C1Chart.Palette.html) property. By default, **C1Chart** uses the **ColorGeneration.Default** setting. The remaining options mimic the color themes of Microsoft Office.

Available color schemes for the data series are listed below:

| **Color Generation Setting** | **Description or Preview** |
| --- | --- |
| Default | When the **C1Chart.ColorGeneration** is set to "Default" the chart uses the theme palette if the theme is set, otherwise "Apex" palette is applied. |
