But this is making a black and white chart. When I assign specific
user-defined colours, they do not hold over to the new charts.

I'm not seeing that here. If I set a custom black-and-white chart as the
default chart, that's what I get the next time I insert a chart in a

document, and the choice seems to stick when I create a new document as
well.
