Bar Charts only one color?

The bar charts on my report only use the first color of the palette.  In these charts I am showing each choice of a question as a separate bar (actually qualtrics does this for me) but it’s only showing the first color of the palette for each bar (all red for example) because my metric is percentage.  If I switch to a pie/donut chart each segment has a different color as expected.  How do I get each bar in the bar chart to have a different color?

If you go to the Edit menu for the bar chart, click on Display.  Under Legends, you should have the option to change the color for each segment. If you click on the color box, you have the option to select a new one for each segment.

thanks. I had to click “transpose” to get the individual answers to be the bars. previously it just had the metric “percentage” as the bars.

Updating colour for each bar should be possible by clicking on the color box in Legends under display when you edit the widget.
