In Kibana 4 bar charts, colors are based on the chart's legend, not its x-axis. A simple bar chart will use green for every bar because it's only displaying a single metric (in this case, Count) for a single dimension. If you were to break down the visualization with a sub-aggregation, you'd see additional colors which match the legend: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/a/ab0e90731946373487351e388710a5213c7034e6.png) ---
