I would like to customize the Series Colors on a Bar Chart component. I’m querying downtime counts by reason from an SQL database. Each downtime reason has a color associated with it. I would like the Series Color on the Bar Chart to reflect these colors. Any suggestions?

I’m very new into developing Ingition applications, so i hope someon…
