There is a property 'Color' exposed for Series.

Look here:
MSDN: DataPointCustomProperties.Color Property [^]
MSDN: Series Class- Properties section[^]

Generate random colors and assign to the series.

Look here for generating random colors:
Try something like:

C#

Random RandGen = new Random();
private Color GetRandomColor()
{
   // define range of RGB between which you want to create
   return Color.FromArgb(RandGen.Next(40, 210), RandGen.Next(60, 245), RandGen.Next(50, 220));
}
