Change the color of the bars in the bar chart

[Paul]

I have one series.  I need different colors.  I am not using a legend where this would be a problem.  Is this possible?

[EDIT]
Before someone asks why, it's because the series is a metric that has a goal (e.g. total sales).  The bars are monthly.  So the chart might be titled "total sales" and the bars are for "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", etc.  Each bar is supposed to be red if far below goal, yellow when near the goal, and green when at or past the goal.

Is there way to change the color of a single bar from the seriesClick event? 

I'm using the "e.category" to populate a grid with additional details and would like visual feedback to the user on what what was selected within the chart.

Hello Gary,

In order to achieve your goal you need to set the color to the dataitem and then you can update the chart datasource.

For your convenience you have examine this jsbin which implements the suggested approach.

Please see this JSFiddle where I have used your example to change the bar color.  However, the series color is wrong. Please advise?
