Summary:

After all the fills in a chart are recolored, the original colors remain in the color list in the Recolor Picture dialog box even though they are not in the picture.

Reproduction Sequence

 * 1) Insert a graph on a slide and from the Color menu, choose Recolor Picture.
 * 2) Click the Fills button and check all of the change check boxes.
 * 3) Click OK to recolor the picture and to return to the slide.
 * 4) From the Color menu, choose Recolor Picture.

The three original graph colors are still in the color list even though they’re no longer in the picture.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
