My business needs require me to create a docx and pptx file with a venndiagram. I have considered creating a template with a venn diagram and updating the text values in it with actual values at run time.
However I will also need to set color of each of the venn diagram components as per business rules. Using this approach can i change the color of venn diagram segments dynamically.

More info please. How were you planning to create it? Using SmartArt, or something else?

I think you can set the colors; i think you can do this through the Word UI, and if you can do it in Word, you can do it with docx4j.

You may have seen that docx4j has some value-added support for SmartArt and glox files. I'm not sure whether you are planning to use this or not, but if you are, please note that it is considered advanced functionality, and you'll probably need to work through it yourself (I've got limited time over the next couple of weeks).
