            </syncfusion:SfSmithChart.ColorModel>
 </syncfusion:SfSmithChart>

c#

SfSmithChart chart = new SfSmithChart();
chart.ColorModel = new SmithChartColorModel();
chart.ColorModel.Palette = ColorPalette.BlueChrome;

Series Palette

The palette color to each data points of specific series can be defined by using Palette property of ColorModel in the Series.

xaml

<syncfusion:SfSmithChart x:Name="SmithChart">
   <syncfusion:LineSeries>
       <syncfusion:LineSeries.ColorModel>
           <syncfusion:SmithChartColorModel Palette="Metro">
       </syncfusion:LineSeries.ColorModel>
   </syncfusion:LineSeries>
 </syncfusion:SfSmithChart>

c#

LineSeries series = new LineSeries(); 
series.ColorModel = new SmithChartColorModel();

                          ChartAreaBackground="AliceBlue" ChartAreaBorderBrush="SkyBlue" ChartAreaBorderThickness="2"> 
 </syncfusion:SfSmithChart>

</syncfusion:SfSmithChart>

SfSmithChart chart = new SfSmithChart();
//Change the area circle radius value
chart.Radius = 0.5;
chart.ChartAreaBorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.CadetBlue);
this.Grid1.Children.Add(chart);
