[highcharts] How do you change the colour of each category within a highcharts column chart?

I have have a column chart which has a number of categories, each with a single data point (e.g. like this one). Is it possible to change the colour of the bar for each category? i.e. so each bar would have its own unique colour rather than all being blue?

just put chart

$('#container').highcharts({
colors: ['#31BFA2'], // change color here
chart: {
        type: 'column'
}, .... Continue chart

add properties:

 colors: ['Red', 'Bule', 'Yellow']

Add which colors you want to colors and then set colorByPoint to true.

colors: [
'#4572A7', 
'#AA4643', 
'#89A54E', 
'#80699B', 
'#3D96AE', 
'#DB843D', 
'#92A8CD', 
'#A47D7C', 
'#B5CA92'
],

plotOptions: {
    column: {
        colorByPoint: true
    }
}

demo

{plotOptions: {bar: {colorByPoint: true}}}

Yes, here is an example in jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bfQeJ/

Highcharts.setOptions({
    colors: ['#058DC7', '#50B432', '#ED561B', '#DDDF00', '#24CBE5', '#64E572', '#FF9655', '#FFF263', '#6AF9C4']
});

The example is a pie chart but you can just fill the series with all the colors to your heart's content =)

You can add colors array in high chart graph for changing the color of graph. You can re-arrange these colors and you can also specify your own colors.

$('#container').highcharts({
colors: ['#2f7ed8','#910000','#8bbc21','#1aadce'],
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked column chart'
},

Like mentioned by antonversal, reading the colors and using the colors option when creating the chart object works.

var chart3 = new Highcharts.Chart({colors: ['#458006', '#B0D18C']});

This worked for me. Its tedious to set all the colour options for a series, especially if it's dynamic

plotOptions: {
  column: {
   colorByPoint: true
  }
}

Just add this...or you can change the colors as per your demand.

Highcharts.setOptions({
        colors: ['#811010', '#50B432', '#ED561B', '#DDDF00', '#24CBE5', '#64E572', '#FF9655', '#FFF263', '#6AF9C4'],
        plotOptions: {
            column: {
                colorByPoint: true
            }
        }

    });

Also you can set option:

  {plotOptions: {column: {colorByPoint: true}}}
