Can I access Flex's default Chart colors? Or can I access a Series' current color?

Question

I've created a popup to dynamically add/remove Series from a LineChart and/or AreaChart.  Problem is, I want to keep the Series' line color consistent, and Flex wants to re-assign them from it's default list, which is confusing.
I don't want to just set the Series.visible to false for two reasons:
1. I also want the LegendItem to disappear from the Legend
2. Stacked AreaCharts (type == 'stacked') get messed up when you set one of its Series.visible = false
So to avoid color reassignment, I want to explicitly set the lineStroke for my Series.  But if I'm using Flex's default colors, I need to either:
a. Have access to the static default color array - does anyone know where this is???  or
b. After the Series are drawn (updateComplete?), I need to query each for its lineStroke color and then explicitly set it to that same color.  How do I do this???  getStyle('lineStroke') returns null, and I can't see a way to get at the renderer.
I'm essentially re-posting the following unanswered posts, which I promise to link back to this if someone can please help:

Answer 1

Matt, thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, for LineCharts, LineSeries.getStyle('fill') always returns 0xffffff (white).
I finally found that after my LineChart is completely rendered, (sometime after LineSeries' updateComplete), LineSeries.getStyle('lineStroke') and getStyle('stroke') both return the correct Stroke.color values ("lineStroke" refers to the line segment and "stroke" to the data point).
Rather than fooling around with collecting the actual values dynamically, I just generated some trace() output from a  LineChart with a bunch of Series to create my own static Array from which I can initialize my Series.setStyle(color) as I dynamically add them to my LineChart:
        public static const DEFAULT_FLEX_SERIES_COLORS:Array = [
            0xe48701, 0xa5bc4e, 0x1b95d9, 0xcaca9e,
            0x6693b0, 0xf05e27, 0x86d1e4, 0xe4f9a0,
            0xffd512, 0x75b000, 0x0662b0, 0xede8c6,
            0xcc3300, 0xd1dfe7, 0x52d4ca, 0xc5e05d,
            0xe7c174, 0xfff797, 0xc5f68f, 0xbdf1e6,
            0x9e987d, 0xeb988d, 0x91c9e5, 0x93dc4a,
            0xffb900, 0x9ebbcd, 0x009797, 0x0db2c2
It turns out there's only 28 unique color values before the color pattern repeats.  I don't see a numerical pattern; perhaps someone with more time on their hands can figure out if there's a function behind this series of values (printed here in binary, decimal, and hex):

Anyway, it sure would have been nice to have access to this in the API - hopefully I've saved someone else the time I've wasted...
