Is there a bug in the way this is handled? The last two colours of the palette always take on the same colour for me. Try this series1.PaletteSteps:=7; series1.ClearPalette(); series1.AddPalette(4,Clnavy); series1.AddPalette(5,Clblue); series1.AddPalette(6,Claqua); series1.AddPalette(7,Clyellow); se...
