I can't reproduce your error, which I would expect to include a line number anyway. But the following code, based on my replies to Prepare charts using Win32::ole, works on Excel 2002. VBA hasn't changed in ways that should make it fail on later versions. If you comment out the last three lines, you should see different colours in the charts.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';

my $xl = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
$xl->{Visible} = 1;
my $wb = $xl->Workbooks->Add;
my $sht = $wb->Sheets(1);
$sht->Range("A1")->{Value} = "'PMD";
$sht->Range("A2")->{Value} = "'SOPW";
$sht->Range("A3")->{Value} = "'Meds";
$sht->Range("A4")->{Value} = "'CUFP";
$sht->Range("B1")->{Value} = "3";
$sht->Range("B2")->{Value} = "40";
$sht->Range("B3")->{Value} = "2";
$sht->Range("B4")->{Value} = "1";
my $cht = $wb->Charts->Add;
$cht->{ChartType} = xlPie;
$cht->SetSourceData ({Source=>$sht->Range("A1:B4"), PlotBy=>xlColumns}
+);

$cht->SeriesCollection(1)->Points(1)->Interior->{Color} = 255;      #v
+bRed
$cht->SeriesCollection(1)->Points(2)->Interior->{Color} = 16711680; #v
+bBlue
$cht->SeriesCollection(1)->Points(3)->Interior->{Color} = 65280;    #v
+bGreen
