Hello. I am trying to change the background color of the actual series on the chart with no luck. All the style background colors I see are the surrounding space of the chart.

Do you mean the chart series **fill** color?

If so that's set in the chart's properties here:  
`series.0.column.appearance.fill.color`

that fill color is the red in the actual column. I mean background color of the graph. right now it is white.

Select the XY Chart.  
Those are properties in the Perspective Property Editor.
