Silverlight Chart Color Palette

(still adding information..)

The Silverlight chart has a default palette defined that automatically assigns a color to one of the series displayed in the chart. It does not matter on the type of series since the colors are a generic definition. 

The illustration above gives an example of how the chart assigns the colors and the colors in the default control template.

The palette is defined in the chart’s control template, below is part of the code for the palette in the default control template.
