Define which colours the chart will use by default. The options are: Metric Colour: if a colour has been applied to a metric field in the view, this colour can be used in the chart. Monochrome: a colour can be defined here and shades of that colour will be used in the chart. Default/Configuration Colours: this uses the default set of colours defined by a system administrator. Reference Code Colour: if colours have been applied to a reference code, and a dimension field has that code applied the colours can be used.
