Change color of Graph

How do I programatically set the graph color (actual bar colors) and bypass the use of the palette?

You need at least RS 2000 SP1 or later installed on report designer and report server machines. Then take a look at the following whitepaper: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/MoreSSRSCharts.asp

Specifically, read the section about "Custom Chart Color Palettes and Legends".

Change color of alternating rows

Please help. I need to distinguish blocks of information on some reports and
I need to be able to altenate the colors.
Please advise.
Thank you.Use RowNumber(scope) function to determine the report row is odd or even and
then set its backcolor property accordingly (e.g. set report detail row's
BackColor property to an Expression, like:
=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2=0, "Silver","White")
Note, if your report has different groups, you need to pass a correct value
to the "scope" argument of RowNumber() function.
