Change color on survival charts

[Jubilantlula]

Greetings,

I just created a very simple survival chart (code & cart are attached) and was trying to change the colors from "red" and "blue" into something else, like "purple" and "orange".

Would anyone tell me where I did wrong?

I tried to following the instructions from the following link; however, those colors are still remain the same.

Thank you for all of the support!

Your proc template code is changing the contrastcolor which is what the boundary of a barchart would display, not the main color.

Try changing contrastcolor to just color.
