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>
