WinForms Chart Background and Frame

Consistency with Application Design and Company Branding
Ensure the background reflects the company’s branding and application UI design, including colors, and background logos. This allows the control to blend nicely with the other UI elements.

Contrast
Choose a background color that provides sufficient contrast for the chart contents.

Simple Frame
Choose a simple frame, like a standard single-color border frame over frames with excessive visual effects (like embossed borders), especially if the chart is not meant for presentational purposes.
