seriesColors

Type: Array
An Array containing the default colors for each series. These colors are used for markers in most cases, but they may apply to lines, fills, or other graphical items.

Important: In the PieChart, a series uses multiple colors. The `seriesColors` style is designed to work with multiple series where the index in the Array corresponds to the series index. As a result, to set the colors on a PieChart, an Array of color values should appear at each index in the outer Array.

The default value is `[ [ 0xfcaf3e, 0x73d216, 0x729fcf, 0xfce94f, 0xad7fa8, 0x3465a4 ], [ 0x3465a4, 0xad7fa8, 0xfce94f, 0x729fcf, 0x73d216, 0xfcaf3e ] ]`.
