Create 8 segment circle each segment of a different hex number

Another approach to consider:

1. In Excel [or PowerPoint] create a Doughnut Chart using 8 equal Values
2. Pick the Chart Style you prefer
3. On the Chart Design tab use the Add Chart Element tool to
   1. Remove the Value Labels
   2. Remove the Title
   3. Remove the Legend
4. Choose different colors for the segments if you wish
5. Copy the Chart object
6. In Word Paste as Picture
7. Crop & Scale the picture

[Note that the terminology is as it appears in Mac Office. It may differ a bit in the Windows products.]

You can create an 8-segment circle by adding a Partial Circle shape. Use the yellow dot control points to create a segment that is 1/8 of a complete circle. Then copy and paste that segment, rotating each segment with Shape Format>Rotate>Rotation by 45 degrees. Then align them all to make a complete circle.

In Word, an 8‑segment circle with different hex colors must be created as a graphic (shape or image), then inserted into the document. Word does not provide a built‑in “segmented circle” shape, so use one of these approaches:

1. Use an external drawing tool that supports hex colors (for example, any vector editor that lets each wedge be filled with a hex color like #FDF9BA).
2. Create an 8‑segment pie chart in that tool, set each slice’s fill color using the desired hex values, then export as an image (PNG/SVG).
3. Insert the resulting image into Word via Insert → Pictures.

If using a tool that accepts CSS‑style hex colors, colors can be specified in full form (#FDF9BA) or, when applicable, the 3‑digit shorthand (#6F9 for #66FF99).
