Question

I need to set different colors for each column in Highcharts graph dynamically. My Highcharts graph is:

options = {
           


        

Answer 1

Here is another solution with the latest version of Highcharts (currently 3.0).

Set the colorByPoint option to true and define the color sequence that you want.

options = {
    chart: {...},
    plotOptions: {
        column: {
            colorByPoint: true
        }
    },
    colors: [
        '#ff0000',
        '#00ff00',
        '#0000ff'
    ]
}

Here is an example based upon Highcharts Column with rotated labels demo
