Excel Chart colors help

How do I create the faded color effect like the tornado chart example in this link:

It's the orange and purple chart and the bottom of the page

Thanks,
Paula

Hi,

Double click one of the sets of bars. On the Pattern tab of the format
dialog click Fill Effects. On the Gradient Tab set Colors = Two Colors.
Shading style = Horizontal and Variants is bottom left one.

Cheers
Andy

Paula:
Assuming a bar chart, select the series by right clicking, choose Format
Data Series.. and open the Patterns Tab. On the Area section click "Fill
Effects .." and the rest is automatic I gather.
Same principle can be applied to other chart types (Column, Area, ..)
