Chart Colors

This one's got me stumped.

I just officiated a test, and would like to make a chart showing 3 different
pieces of information:

1. The person's name shown horizontally ---
2. The person's score shown vertically |
3. The person's exposure time to the subject, shown by the color of their
bar (ex: green = brand new / black = very experienced, with shades in between)


I know there is a conditional formatting function that does this for cells,
but is there any function that is able to do this for charts, or do I simply
have to go through and hand-pick the color each individual column one by one?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Leirikello,

Is there a way that this can be adapted so that instead of bars, each
type (meat, fish, veggies) can have a line, and the line can be
conditionally formatted to be a certain color based on another
variable..say you added a variable for initial cost?
