How do I set a Custom Palette for a PieSeries Chart in XAML

Hi, I was wondering if you can help.  I've had a look, and there doesn't appear to be a clear example of defining and using a custom palette for a PieSeries chart with the custom colours defined in the XAML, rather than trying to set things up in the code behind.. (I'm using the latest version of Essential Studio for 
WinRT with Windows 8.1)

For example, the following does work when "Metro" is selected as the palette:

<charts:SfChart DataContext="{Binding Data}" Width="480" Height="270" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                    <charts:PieSeries Label="Series1" Palette="Metro"                                                                 XBindingPath="Key" YBindingPath="Value" ItemsSource="{Binding}" >
                     <charts:PieSeries.AdornmentsInfo>
                           <charts:ChartAdornmentInfo VerticalAlignment="Center" 
                                HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                      </charts:PieSeries.AdornmentsInfo>                        
                    </charts:PieSeries>
                    <charts:SfChart.Legend>
                            <charts:ChartLegend  DockPosition="Right"/>
                    </charts:SfChart.Legend>
</charts:SfChart>

However, I would like to set Palette = "Custom", and then define the custom colours within the appropriate part of the XAML...  I assume this would take the form of more XAML within a

<charts:PieSeries.ColorModel>
....
</charts:PieSeries.ColorModel>

..section??

I'd be very grateful if you are able to provide me an example of how to do this properly using the example above as a starting point please?

Many thanks in advance

**EDIT** Worked it out.. It turns out intelli-sense in my ide was playing up and the way I thought of doing it was actually working fine.

Please delete this thread :)
