I think you can use this after initializing scene :
try
{
scene.getStylesheets().add("chart.css");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.err.println("Cannot acquire stylesheet: " + ex.toString());
}

then :
use your style chart like this :
.data0.chart-pie
{
-fx-pie-color: #505FA3;

}
.data1.chart-pie{
-fx-pie-color: #9999ff;
}

Just remove applyCustomColorSequence( pieChartData, "aqua", "bisque", "chocolate", "coral", "crimson" ); and add this lines:

Scene scene = new Scene(chart);
scene.getStylesheets().add("/css/pie-chart-custom-colors.css");

stage.setScene(scene);

Now create a new .css file and add this code:

.default-color0.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: #ffd700; }
.default-color1.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: #ffa500; }
.default-color2.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: #860061; }
.default-color3.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: #adff2f; }
.default-color4.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: #ff5700; }

This way you will change the color of each element also you can use color names like this:

.default-color0.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: blue; }
.default-color1.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: red; }
.default-color2.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: green; }
.default-color3.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: yellow; }
.default-color4.chart-pie { -fx-pie-color: pink; }
