How can I change the colors of my highcharts piechart?

Question

I\'m using highcharts to make a piechart but I\'m having trouble loading a custom color set for my chart.

Here is my code:

Answer 1

Highcharts.setOptions({
 colors: ['#50B432', '#ED561B', '#DDDF00', '#24CBE5', '#64E572', '#FF9655', '#FFF263', '#6AF9C4']
});

Look the following example http://jsfiddle.net/8QufV/

Answer 2

For those of you that prefer to initialize the color in the configs, you could simply put the colors in the plotOptions portion of the config object like so:

...,
plotOptions: {
  pie: {
   colors: [
     '#50B432', 
     '#ED561B', 
     '#DDDF00', 
     '#24CBE5', 
     '#64E572', 
     '#FF9655', 
     '#FFF263', 
     '#6AF9C4'
   ],
   allowPointSelect: true,
   cursor: 'pointer',
   dataLabels: {
     enabled: false
   },
   showInLegend: true
 }
},
...
