If it's just the colors, go to Tools menu Options Colors, and adjust
the bottom two rows of colors.

You could also format a chart, save it into a user defined type, then
reapply it to a refreshed pivot chart:

Are there any other suggestions for changing the default charting colors when
a pivot chart is made? I am frustrated by changing the colors on one chart,
only to have them change back to defaults when the chart is switched. Please
help.
