Should I take this post down?

Nope, I've already moved it 😉

Use the COLOR= option in the ODS PDF statement.

As @PaigeMiller pointed out earlier, use DATACOLORS instead of DATACONTRASTCOLORS. DATACOLORS are for filled areas. DATACONTRASTCOLORS are for lines and markers. DATACONTRASTCOLORS would affect only the outlines of the bars.

I'm not sure of the environment of the environment you're running. Is this in Display Manager, SAS Studio, or Enterprise Guide? If it is the last two, you have to ne very careful in how you use ODS destination statements. Let us know which is your environment.

I used DATACOLORS instead. the outlines appear to be gone but the basic problem remains.

Maybe the same solution as almost five years ago 😉

EDIT: I suspect you have some old programs that turn that option on/off. I would recommend not touching it in future programs because the default is fine.

options colorprinting=yes;

DING DING! (not embarrassed)

There are some obscure options out there.....I didn't recall this one either if that helps, search for the win!
