You've got two choices. The first, which is a bit of a hack but might be
the easier of the two, would be to write your own code that examines the
data, generates an array of fills whose values match the expected
colors, and assigning that. The more correct method would be to write a
custom item rendere for the wedges that ignores the fills color and
picks the fill color based on a value from the data.
