Are you sure you want to do this at template level?

Why not just change the color directly in an SGPLOT Procedure? You can control the colors of the individual parts like this

proc sgplot data=sashelp.heart;
    vbox cholesterol / category=deathcause fillattrs=(color=green) 
                                           lineattrs=(color=black)
                                           whiskerattrs=(color=blue)
                                           meanattrs=(color=red)
                                           medianattrs=(color=red)
                                           outlierattrs=(color=purple);
run;

I think you are asking about changing the colors that are associated with the groups in the GROUP= option.

You can use the STLEATTRS statement to set those values.

See

or if you are not using SAS 9.4, see
