I used Jon Peltier's macro (Excel Chart Color Update - Peltier Tech Blog) to change the default chart line/fill colors. The new colors show up on the color palette but when I make a chart I get the same old default colors for each series. Is there some other setting I need to make? I'm using Excel 2010.

Thanks,

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
That old tutorial dealt with colors in the Classic Excel (2003 and earlier) color palette. It has no effect on colors in Excel 2007 and later.
