Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Core Word library used to create, read, and edit Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or Interop dependencies. Using this library, you can create a line chart with different color series in a Word document in C#.

Steps to create a line chart with different color series in a Word document

Create a new C# .NET Core console application project.
Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Core applications from NuGet.org.
Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file

using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.OfficeChart;
using Syncfusion.Drawing;

Set Linecolor properties to the series.

//Set different colors for the series.
series1.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Green;
series2.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Purple;
series3.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Turquoise;

Use the following code example to create a line chart with different color series in a Word document.

//Create a new Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
    //Add a section to the document.
    IWSection section = document.AddSection();
    //Add a paragraph to the section.
    IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
    //Create and append the chart to the paragraph.
    WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
    //Set chart type.
    chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Line;
    //Set chart data.
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 1, "Fruits");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 1, "Apples");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 1, "Grapes");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 1, "Bananas");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 1, "Oranges");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 1, "Melons");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 2, "Joey");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 2, 5);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 2, 4);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 2, 4);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 2, 2);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 2, 2);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 3, "Matthew");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 3, 3);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 3, 5);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 3, 4);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 3, 1);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 3, 7);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 4, "Peter");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 4, 2);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 4, 2);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 4, 3);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 4, 5);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 4, 6);
    //Set region of Chart data.
    chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[1, 1, 6, 4];
    //Set chart series in the column for assigned data region.
    chart.IsSeriesInRows = false;
    //Set a Chart Title.
    chart.ChartTitle = "Line Chart";
    //Set Datalabels.
    IOfficeChartSerie series1 = chart.Series[0];
    IOfficeChartSerie series2 = chart.Series[1];
    IOfficeChartSerie series3 = chart.Series[2];
 
    series1.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
    series2.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
    series3.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
    //Set different colors for the series.
    series1.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Green;
    series2.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Purple;
    series3.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Turquoise;
    //Set legend.
    chart.HasLegend = true;
    chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
    //Create a file stream.
    using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Sample.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
    {
        //Save the Word document to the file stream.
        document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
    }
}

Similarly, set the Linecolor property for all types of line charts and stock charts.
