Yes, using color index numbers can change based on different OS. To ensure
that colors are always the same, use the RGB property of the color index.

My application has produced several hundred charts. They display very nicely
on my desktop monitor. I have transferred the charts to a laptop to be used
in a training session and the display of those colors is quite different, and
causes the chart to be much less legible. I do not want to have to
regenerate the charts. Is there some way to modify how a given ColorIndex is
displayed by the laptops operating system?
