Return Value
An ChartColorPalette enumeration value that determines the data series' palette.
Remarks
A palette is used to automatically assign colors to data elements if: the data points themselves do not have colors assigned to them and; the data series that the data points belong to also does not have an assigned color.
If no series or data point colors are explicitly specified then the colors used depends on: the chart type; the Chart object's palette or; the series palette, if one is specified. See the table below for further details:

This Series.Palette property has precedence over the root Chart object's palette when it comes to the display of data.
NOTE: If the Palette property for both the Chart and Series objects are set to None, and no color is assigned to the relevant data series/data points, then the data points will not be drawn, and will be displayed as "empty" areas.
