Something which I would have thought is trivial - so apologies in advance.

I'm collecting data in elastic search. the mapping looks like this:

"mappings" : {  
"dosing": {  
"properties" : {  
"sitename" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed"},  
"subjectlabel" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed"},  
"visitnumber" : {"type" : "integer"},  
"metric" : {"type" : "string"},  
"what" : {"type" : "string"},  
"risk" : {"type" : "string"},  
}}}  
Risk is a string with a low, mid or high value - using an Items panel - I  
produce a chart with 3 bars - for High, Mid and Low

I have not been able to figure out how to change the colors of the bars -  
I'm using the default green, yellow and blue - which doesn't really work  
for high, mid and low risk.

I suppose I could hack the CSS and replace the colors with a different  
palette but it would be more elegant if there a bar.color property one  
could set  
Ideas?  
Thanks  
Danny
