Default Powerpoint 2003 - Chart Colors

In Powerpoint 2003, is there the capability to change the bar chart colors to
my custom RGB colors? I only see the permanent color palette without options
(unlike powerpoint 2007). HELP!

Default Powerpoint 2003 - Chart Colors

You can change the colors in the palette, but it resets every time you
create a new chart. So you'd have to change the colors, then copy that slide
or chart and change the data each time you want a new chart.

Your charts pick up their colors from the accent colors defined in the slide
colors scheme. If you specify those with your RGB colors, you can get at
least partway there. See http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes.htm

Hmmmmmmmmm... I created a new color scheme with my custom RGB colors for the
3 accent colors but they don't appear when I double-click my chart to change
the bar colors. Is there another menu I should look at?
