I am having a very frustrating time trying to override the theme colours for a chart I have created. I have meticulously gone through and changed each data series to the colours I require (which need to be different to the theme colours) by applying a solid fill to each. Whilst the workbook is open, all is fine, but as soon as I save, close and re-open, the colours revert to what they were before, switching back to automatic. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know how to do this so that the theme is permanently overridden for that chart? I'm using Excel 2016.
