You can change the color of each slice of your pie chart, and even move a slice. Let's change the colors first.
Left click on the pie chart itself to select it:
It is selected when you can see those round handles. Now left click on one of the segments to select just that individual slice. It's a little bit tricky, but if you do it right your pie chart should look like this:
In the image above, only the 10.99 segment is selected. You should see round circles surrounding just that segment. Now right click your segment and, from the menu that appears, select Format Data Point:
You should see the following dialogue box appears:
Click on Fill from the options on the left. The dialogue box changes to this:
There are quite a lot of options to experiment with. But select the Solid Fill option:
Now click the color picker, and choose a new colour for the segment:
We've gone for a dark orange color, but select any color you like.
To move the slice that you've just coloured, click back on Series Options from the options on the left:
Set the Point Explosion slider to about 30%
Now click the Close button. Your chart should look something like this one:

In the next part, we'll look at our third and final chart
style - a 2D Line Chart.
