How to change colours in boxplot

proc template;
define statgraph classbox;
begingraph / designwidth=700px designheight=450px backgroundcolor=CXE8E6E8;
layout overlay;
boxplot y=&var1 x=tmt/group=ANALYTE_FULL name='box' ;

endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;

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;

Hi, 

Please let know which part of Box need a Color update is required.

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.
