Hi @HuongCV,

welcome to the Kibana community.  
To color each category with its own color you need to replicate the same filters from the `Horizontal axis` in the `Break down by`. Luckily Lens provides some nice drag and drop shortcuts for that:

![duplicate_lens](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/d/0dd255144805683320e0e8166b6b61c8a7189692.gif)

Drag and dropping the `Filters` dimension to the `Break down by` and dropping it into the `Duplicate` area will duplicate the same filter definitions there, triggering a coloring task as in the picture above.

Hi @ [Marco\_Liberati](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/Marco_Liberati),  
I followed your instructions and the results weren't as expected.
