Auto Color Scheme in Excel Charts

[jfk683]

I am looking to find what the auto color scheme is in an Excel chart.
Basically, when you select a range of data for a chart it
automatically selects a color for each line in a line graph. I, for
the sake of formatting and conditional formatting, need to know what
that order is for the first 40 colors.

I am currently using Excel 2003.

Thank you.

Default colors for Chart Fill and Chart Lines are found in
Tools>Options>Color

There are not 40 colors for these.........8 only for each.

The order is as shown.

Can be modified but the number cannot be increased.

I don't understand the second half of the question about why you need to
know the order.
