There are two ways to specify colors for individual series. To change the colors of the palette.
You can enter your color by pasting in your own hex code, adding an RGBA value or using a color wheel. Moreover you can also use the color picker tool.

Or you can directly specify the series you would like to color differently in the Custom overrides setting.
Just enter the name of the label, followed by a colon and the color value.
You can enter the color value by names, Hex, RGB or RGBA in case you want to set the opacity.
- Et voilà! You should have an individually colored line now. You can use the same technique for bar and pie charts.
