I want to create custom colors for use in the slices of my
pie chart. Is there a way to bring up the screen that
lets you enter the 'R', 'G' & 'B' for a color? Or another
way around the 56 color choices that are on the "Format
Data Point / Patterns" screen? The only alternative I
could come up with was the create the color in Photoshop,
then use the 'Picture' option in Excel.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, in XL you are limited to a 56 color palette. However,
it is possible to replace any of the existing colors in the palette.
For more on how see 'Change the color palette in a workbook' in XL
help.
