expression A variable that represents a Chart object.

Remarks

The Colors drop-down list on the ribbon under REPORT TOOLS, on the DESIGN tab, in the Themes group, changes the color theme of the entire report, including any charts on the report. The VBA object model in Project does not support the control for report theme colors.

    Set chartShape = ActiveProject.Reports("Simple scalar chart").Shapes(1)
    
    ' ChartColor values 10 - 26 correspond to the Change Colors menu
    ' on the DESIGN tab of the CHART TOOLS ribbon.
    chartShape.Chart.ChartColor = 26
End Sub
