Tufte hates you.

Your graph is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Why use such terrible chart junk to illustrate a potentially useful tool? Read this http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi and do this post again.

dyanmic color from predefined swatches

hi - is it possible to color your charts by using a predefined set of swatches? My company has a color palette that is part of their brand and these colors need to be used in charts.
In Powerpoint you can set up the heirarchy of colors through the Design palette which will place your predefined colors in descending order (or by use; background, text color etc)
In Illustrator the only way I can see to get the colors I need in the chart, I'd have to individually select each bar or pie slice then apply a color. Is there a way to do this dynamically?
Thanks in advance
Karl
