Custom Series Color Problem

I am using SP1 and am trying to use the new custom color feature for chart
series.
The problem is that I want to specify a transparent color (Alpha = 50%).
Is there any way of doing this? It seems that you can only enter colors that
have RGB values, not ARGB values. (The System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb function
does not work in an expression).
At the moment, I am using the Semi-Transparent palette, but would like to
choose the colors myself as opposed to having them chosen for me.

cjARGB colors are not supported.
