Hello
I have stacked bar that is showing me success logons and failed logons. I want them to be different colors than the default but I dont see where I can change that.
How do I do it?

It depends on which visualization type you're using.
If you're using Lens in 7.13, you can get a custom color by using _metrics with filters_ instead of _breakdown by_. This is because the breakdown colors are not fully customizable, but the metrics are. Older versions of Lens do not support custom colors.
If you're using an aggregation-based chart type, you can click the color dot in the legend to assign a color by name.
If you're using TSVB, I would recommend an approach similar to Lens- create multiple series where each one is filtered by status, and then you can assign a custom color to each.

So if I understand you correctly, if I want to make a stacked bar visualization with different colors for different results, I need at least 7.13?
I dont wanna make a chart/pie based visualization (I know that is possible) and TSVB I believe shows it in a timeline.
Thank you for your help as always.

In older versions where you want a stacked bar chart _without a time dimension on the X axis_ then you can use the aggregation-based Bar Chart visualization.

That chart type is the oldest chart type in Kibana. When you click Visualize -\> Bar Chart you'll see it.

I apoligize but I must be blind:
If I click on Vertical Bar, I have the issue I mention: I cannot set different colors for different results.

You can click the color dot in the Vertical Bar legend to assign a unique color.
