You have to format each colored band individually. Select the legend, then
double click on a colored square legend key. On the Patterns tab, choose
none for border, and if desired change the color to something more
appropriate.

I mean the black wire frame grid lines.

I want to create a chart with just the areas. I rotate the chart 90 degrees
so it looks like a contour map. But the wire frame/grid lines are too
prominent , too close together, too heavy.
