Oops. I should have removed the comment "(if you have only one chart)

the name..

With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart
(if you have only one chart)

OR

With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 16").Chart
(if you have multiple chart objects)

I tried setting ..Dim ActiveChart As ChartObject...but it still fails...see

Sub ColorBySeriesName()
Dim rPatterns As Range
Dim iSeries As Long
Dim rSeries As Range

Set rPatterns = ActiveSheet.Range("AR6:BH235")

With ActiveChart
For iSeries = 1 To .SeriesCollection.Count <--- Where Error 91 occurs
Set rSeries = rPatterns.Find(What:=.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Na me)
If Not rSeries Is Nothing Then
.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Interior.ColorIndex = _
rSeries.Interior.ColorIndex
End If
Next
