  For the life of me, I can't find how to change the color of the bar in a bar chart.

  It seems like it would be a simple thing, but I can't find anything in the properties that seems to relate to it.

  I have a bar chart with subtype as "bar chart" -- i.e., just a bar for each data point, either positive or negative.  The positive should be blue; the negative red.  As it is now, the default color for positive is blue, for negative green, but management does not like that color combo.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance...
