Change the look of bars, wedges, and more in Keynote on Mac
A data series is a set of related values in a chart—for example, all the bars of the same color in a bar chart, or a single line in a line chart.
You can emphasize trends in your chart by changing the appearance, position, or spacing of one or more of the data series.
Change colors and shadows in chart elements
You can change the look of any data series in a chart to differentiate it from other series. For bar charts, for example, you can fill the bars in each series with a different color or a color gradient, apply a different outline (stroke) style, and more. For scatter charts, you can change the symbol that represents each point and add connection lines between the points.
Note: You can’t change the look of a single data point in a series (a single bar in a bar chart, for example). All changes you make apply to every data point in the series.
Click the chart, then click one element of a data series (for example, one bar or column, pie wedge, or scatter point).
The entire data series is selected.
In the Format
sidebar, click the Style tab.Use the controls in the sidebar to make changes; to see all options, you may need to click the disclosure triangle next to the name of each section.
The changes affect only the selected data series. To change another series, click one of its elements, then make changes.
To select multiple series, click a series element, then Command-click an element in another series. To select all series, click a series element, then press Command-A.
Tip: You can choose a coordinated set of colors for all the data series in the chart at once. Click the chart, click the Chart tab in the sidebar, then click 
and select colors. To preview the colors in your chart, hold the pointer over a color combination.
